Blood donor protection.
The quality of blood donated or purchased may be not only inferior from a recipient or user point of view, but donation may also be injurious to the health of the donor. A study of 1215 paid donors suggests that the current screening guidelines for all donors may not be adequate. More extensive haematological study of these donors shows that abnormalities of individual haematological parameters may range from 4.3% to as high as 29.5% deending on the donor population and the quality of the screening examination. The study concludes that the donor should be better protected.
