Give blood at local blood bank, they were in desperate need of Platelets. I did not have the time however they tested my platelets which is 175,000. I will go though the process next time however is 175,000 ok for giving platelets. Im in good health exercise 4-5 days a week which include cardio. So what does the number mean?
Hi.... I m Chat Doctor. ... I have done the fair number of Platelet apheresis procedures (SDP)....so-called only platelet donation....procedures....so I would like to answer your query...... First...it is great you thought about donation....thanks for it.... I know...it is quite life-saving.... Now for this platelet donation ....platelet count of more than 2,00,000/CCMM preferred....WHO guideline says...must be more than 1,50,000/CCMM... But platelet count of donor if more in number yield achieved by donation is very good and beneficial for patient receiving it... Other criteria like Hemoglobin greater than 12.5 gm, no significant
