Assessment of iron status in regular blood donors in a tertiary care hospital in Southern India.
Asian journal of transfusion science（2022）
Abstract
Our study found that regular blood donors had low iron stores, as shown by ferritin levels and other iron indicators. Using the current guidelines (hemoglobin >12.5 g/dL) for donation, or the red cell indices alone do not reflect the donor's actual iron status.
