Blood Donation

can you give Blood if you take atenolol

First, you must define what you consider to be "blood".

Whole blood is rarely used in modern transfusion medicine. Instead, whole blood is separated into components, primarily red cells, platelets, fresh frozen plasma and cryoprecipitate.

Type O, Rh positive whole blood may be transfused to a type O, Rh positive recipient.

Type O, Rh positive red cells may be transfused to any ABO, Rh positive recipient.

Type O, Rh positive platelets may be transfused to any ABO, Rh positive recipient (plasma reduction may be done if the physician is concerned about incompatible plasma in the product).

Type O Plasma may only be transfused to a type O recipient (Rh is of no concern).

Type O Cryoprecipitate may be transfused to any ABO recipient (Rh is of no concern).

In cases where Rh negative cellular components are not available, ABO compatible, Rh positive cellular products may be transfused to an Rh negative recipient IF....

1) The patient does not have anti-D antibodies present in their plasma

2) The patient is not a female of child bearing age/capability

3) There is an emergent need for the blood products

If Rh positive platelets are transfused to an Rh negative recipient, Rh Immune Globulin may be administered to prevent sensitization.

Aspirin and ibuprofen are okay, as long as the donor is feeling fine during the time of their appointment. But if the service you are donating blood to also uses your platelets, they may not allow you to donate if you have taken these drugs in the last 2 days or so, as they prevent the platelets from working properly.

No. Diabetics cannot give blood in the UK. The National Blood Transfusion Service concludes that donating could have negative implication for the donor and therefore it is not allowed. The insulin uptake can be altered by blood loss.

Yes they can. UK is idiotic. A non diabetic can receive diabetic blood and since their pancreas is working it can get rid of the sugar in the blood. US and other countries allow it so UK needs to get with the times and learn more about diabetes.

Usually, you can.

But you will be requested to wait a year or so to make extra-double-certain that you didn't pick up any disease with the transfused blood that you'll then will pass on to someone else.

The Red Cross and similar organizations require that you wait 56 days (8 weeks) between blood donations.

No, this patient can't donate blood, even if he is cured he/she can't donate blood until a period of 12 month from hiss last day of jaundice.

This is because Liver in Jaundice patients is not working in anormal way, and the blood in those patients is poison with bilirubin, that's why they can't donate.

Blood is the body's transport medium: it transports substances around the body. It carries hormones, nutrients, water and oxygen to places they are required(eg the muscles) and transports waste products such as carbon dioxide to places where they can be excreted. In a pregnant woman, the mother's and baby's blood exchange these substances, though they each have different blood supplies.

White bloods cells(leukocytes) are also carried in blood as part of the immune system, protecting the body against infections.

No. Pregnant women are ineligible to donate blood.

APPEAL TO INDIANS

Blood Donation is the biggest donation in the world. As we all know, tragedy occurs every other day and we hear about blood shortages. We cannot let people die short of blood. Our blood can give life to someone, someday. Hence, it is our duty as an Indian to stand up to the situation.

Blood group AB can only donate red blood cells to other AB individuals. Since donated blood is separated into different components, your blood and plasma may be donated to different individuals. While AB red blood cells are only compatible with other AB individuals, AB plasma is the universal plasma for donation.

there yours why should anyone take them f*** them!

With current technology, no

18 years of age.

Also you need to have appropriate levels of haemoglobin in blood and weight.

i guess no. but it is really required you can i ask the doctor.

Biomat on 8805 White Bluff Rd. savannah ga 31406 912-927-4005 will pay up to $45 the 1st visit and $20-30 thereafter. you can donate 2-3x per week.

yes

Yes, leukemia is a type of blood cancer. It specifically affects the blood and bone marrow, where blood cells are produced. In leukemia, there is an uncontrolled growth of abnormal white blood cells, which can crowd out healthy blood cells and impair the body's ability to fight infections and carry oxygen. Leukemia is a broad term that encompasses several subtypes, each with its own characteristics and treatment approaches. It's one of the major categories of blood cancers.

According to the American Red Cross Blood Donor Eligibility page, there is a 12-month deferral if you received the tattoo in an unlicensed tattoo facility. But if you received the tattoo in a state-licensed tattoo facility (using sterile needles, not reusing ink), then then there is no deferral.

if you feel fine then yes. By the end of your period you'll have lost around half a cup of liquid - which is a small amount.
The nurses who will be taking your donation will first give you a haemoglobin test to check your red blood count etc and to ensure that you are not anemic. As long as you pass this test you are able to donate blood. However, during and after your period these levels can decrease and so it is not recommended that you donate at this time. Feel free to go along because there is no way of telling whether or not your blood cell count would be lower than the donation level unless your are tested :D x

O, B, A, and AB

This is because the AB blood molecules have both the A and B antigens. These antigins mean that the cells don't attack cells with either A or B present. The body made no antibodies because neither A nor B are seen as foreign antigens. Without the worry of antibodies attacking transfused blood, the current blood will accept any type of new blood. Although depending on the + or -, there still could be problems.

No.

Type one diabetes is an autoimmune diasease that is non preventable and non curable. It's not an infection so it cannot be 'caught'. Type two diabetes is a generic or lifestyle disease, both preventable and sometimes curable. Also not an infection or 'catchable'.

The plasma and red blood cells of a person's blood account fully for both A and B antigens and antibodies in some combination, and if both A antigens and A antibodies are present in the same mixture, they react negatively to each other. Blood transfusions only deal with the red blood cells, which hold the antigens, but O type blood has both antibodies in the plasma, which will react negatively to any red blood cells with antigens.

It depends what country you're in - the rules vary from country to country. In the UK, it's at least six months, andyou must be taking no medication. Contact the blood donor organisation in your country for an accurate answer.

Whole blood may be donated every 56 days, platelets may be collected twice a week, up to 24 times a year, and plasma may be collected twice a week (as long as total protein and immunoglobulin levels remain acceptable).

donating blood is important because everyday people of all ages are put in the hospital in need of blood and the people who donate blood are life savers because people who need blood can die but they get blood from the blood drive and they live a full happy and healthy life.
