Re: ? About donating Plasma vs general donation

[Guest guest]

Plasma is much the same guidelines as blood. You have to be a certain

weight and follow certain rules. I have been denied for the day because

of my iron level on several occassions. How much they take depends on

how much you weigh. I know that you don't loose any whole red blood

cells when donating plasma which is how you can donate up to twice a

week whereas giving blood can only be done every eight weeks.
