Finally, it must be borne in mind that blood transfusion
\ncontinues to be a scarce therapeutic resource. Recent
\nstudies alert about a possible blood stock breakout in thenear future, mostly due to progressive population aging.
\nIn this regard, as iron deficiency may preclude from frequent donations, offering oral or IV iron supplementation to those presenting with poor iron status may help to reduce the problem and retain donors,although possible that underlying conditions should be investigated.
\nAdditionally, on the basis of Hb levels and iron status in
\nolder ABDs, our results suggest that the current upper
\nlimit of age for blood donation might be reconsidered,
\neven for first-time VBD donors (65 years in Spain). Thus,
\nunless there exists a medical contraindication, individualsolder than 65 years might not be initially deferred from blood donation, as they have very low frequencies of adverse reactions and are highly committed to donate blood.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
