Blood donation contraindications

Every healthy person over 18 years old with no contraindications to donation and weight more than 50 kg can become a donor.

But only a man with a capital letter can become a donor of blood and its components. A person who is willing to get up early, spend his time to save someone's life.


Contraindications

At each visit to the Blood Service institution, a potential donor undergoes a free medical examination, which includes an appointment with a transfusiologist and a preliminary laboratory test.

At the same time, there are a number of contraindications to donation: permanent, that do not depend on the duration of the disease and the results of treatment, and temporary - valid only for a certain period.

Permanent contraindications are infectious and parasitic diseases, oncology, blood diseases, and a number of other conditions.

Perhaps you will be disappointed that you are not be able to make donation in the presence of absolute contraindications.
However, the Blood Service hopes that you will understand our main task - ensuring the safety of blood donor components for patients.

The presence of contraindications to donation does not mean that you can not contribute to the development of voluntary blood donation!
In the section «Volunteers» you can learn how to help the Donor Movement. Save lives with the Blood Service!

Temporary contraindications have different terms depending on the cause. The most common prohibitions are: tatto, piercing or acupuncture treatment (120 calendar days), tonsillitis, influenza, SARS (30 calendar days after recovery), pregnancy and lactation (1 year after childbirth, 90 calendar days after lactation), vaccinations.
