can a thalasaemia minor donate blood.if so what gap should be maintained.does blood donation by thalasaemia minor effect the health of donor and receipient


Posted by:  Prathama  Posted on: 09/25/2009
Thalassemia minor can donate blood provided his/her hemoglobin count is above 12.5. Otherwise he/she should not donate. Generally the hemoglobin count in Thalassemia minors would be less, but that doesn't effect the donor or receipient health.
