Blood Donation

Blood donation is often referred to giving the gift of life. When a person donates blood, it usually goes into a special blood bank to be used by surgery patients, accident victims, children with leukemia, and many other people. Blood banks are sometimes depleted during times such as natural disasters, and are often looking for volunteers to help keep them full.

Why you can't donate blood if you carry hepatitis?

Hepatitis is a blood-borne disease, which means that it can be transmitted by exposure to the blood of someone who is infected. One of the most common means of transmission is contaminated needles, and (until the last few years) blood transfusions.

The blood collection and distribution system is now incomparably safer, since tests have been developed to screen infected blood, but it is much easier to exclude hepatitis patients from donating blood than it is to screen out infected blood and destroy it, and much safer. No system, and certainly no human being, is perfect, and there is always the chance of contaminated needles or equipment, and even of possibly allowing infected blood to pass scrutiny and be given to someone.

Can you give blood if you take lithium?

I found the following list of medications that prevent you from donating blood: Accutune Advart Insulin Propecia Proscar Soriatune Tegison

I have checked a number of other sites and nowhere does it list any mood stabilizing drugs - if nothing else you can always ask the volunteer drawing the blood to be sure, but it should be fine.

Concerning volunteer blood donation and medications, aside from drugs specifically listed by the FDA, most deferrals are for the associated medical condition, not the medication itself. Concerning lithium and blood donation, as long as the donor's underlying condition is stable and the donor is responsible for their own actions, they would be allowed to become a blood donor.

Type O, Rh positive individuals have anti-A, anti-B and anti-AB antibodies in their plasma. Anti-AB antibody is a separate antibody uniquely found in type O individuals.
