Enigma | Does anyone know why I'm not allowed to donate blood? |
I'm nitrate dependant, and have been deferred from donating blood. I'm just curious as to why a person on nitro cannot donate. I was told that I'd have to go 3 months without nitro to have the deferral removed from my medical file. |

people on any type of drug cannot donate. i myself cannot donate for a similar reason. it has to do with whether the patient's body would accept the blood with that drug in it. it also has to do with allergies. |

I believe it has to do with storage life of donated blood- nitrogen compounds can cause the blood to deteriorate faster. |

Well because the meds are in your blood, and could cause harm to someone who receives it. This is true for almost every medication. They don't have the resources to segregate blood by medications that the donor was taking, so they have to deny you to opportunity to protect the recipients. |

Nitro is not good for everybody. It is a helper for you but may cause serious harm to others without your condition. BUt kudos for wanting to donate!!!! |

If you are on any kind of medication you are automatically barred from donating blood. The reason they give is that the medication can have adverse effects on the quality of the blood, also the fact that you are on medication in particular nitrates means that you are not healthy enough to give blood.
While donating blood is a noble and admirable thing, it is to everyone's benefit that both the donor and the recipient will not be harmed while a transfusion is being made. |

Your Nitro in your blood can affect a ill person, causing them serious complications. |

While yes, it's true that they try to regulate and keep out as many drugs as possible from donated blood, there was actually a study released recently that has to do a lot with your particular situation. Blood needs nitrates to be able to deliver oxygen to the tissues. Without it, the red blood cells can't release the oxygen, so tissues die. When blood is taken, the amount of nitrates immediately start to go down.... which is one reason for the shelf life of donated blood. If you're on medication for this, then your blood would probably have more issues keeping the correct amounts in and the recipient would have problems from the transfusion. That's why you're on the deferred list.
Don't' feel bad about it.... at least it's not because you're part of a military family and living overseas! |

I think that certain blood contaminants would make the blood destructive to another person in need of blood
Or, Loosing blood can be dangerous to a person who has certain conditions. |

How nice of you to want to "give the gift of life" to others. However, people needing blood are already in medical trouble. Either do to emergency or disease. They don't need to have blood infused that contains chemicals to treat someone with a medical crisis themselves. Just makes sense, doesn't it? |

There are a lot of medications that affect the quality of blood. I have not got a whole list of them here.
Nitro is one of the things that cannot be screened out of the blood.
We wouldn't want anyone elses problems injected into our bods when we are at risk.
So be patient. You may and may not be able to donate again. Just take your meds as prescribed and have a good healthy life!! |
