Abstract :

BACKGROUND Donor deferrals are the major causative factor of temporary donor rejection which is preventable and treatable. A basic knowledge about frequency, types, and the severity of variant hemoglobin with RBC indices among deferred blood donors will help to plan a strategy to promote donor recruitment and in overall national health. OBJECTIVE The retrospective study of comparison of hemoglobin levels in deferred blood donors with their blood indices. MATERIALS AND METHOD The retrospective analysis of deferred blood donors of Saveetha Medical College, Chennai was conducted.the data’s were extracted from donor register and analyzed. The Study is on 6 months deferred blood donors. Donor’s samples were analyzed on an automated hematology analyzer. RESULT Overall a list of 50 donors were taken from blood bank, out of which 48 were deferred which makes the deferral rate more predominant and it differs at various age groups. The donors are deferred mainly based on criteria of mcv value and hemoglobin levels. The deferred donors are majorly seen at the age group of 21–25 years(22.46%), secondly donors below 20 years(15.31%), between 26–30 years(5.10%),31–35(4.8%),and above 35 years its (2.4%) CONCLUSION High prevalence of anemia among blood donors signifies deteriorating health status not only in donor population but also in general population. This situation calls for more concerted efforts as otherwise it would lead to decreased blood donor pool.
