Are there any side effects to donating plasma?

Now many cities have slogans about free blood donation, and many people are willing to donate blood for free, but there are also a small number of people who want to donate blood for a fee, so some rumors have emerged, such as what we are going to talk about today, whether there will be any sequelae from donating plasma. There will be no sequelae from donating plasma.

Not only that, it will also be beneficial to people's health. Now let me tell you the benefits of donating plasma and whether it will leave any sequelae.

1. There is absolutely no basis for the claim that donating blood is extremely harmful to the body.

The total blood volume of an adult is 7-8% of body weight. That is to say, for a healthy adult weighing 60 kg, the blood volume is about 4200 ml - 4800 ml. However, according to China's current blood donation rules, the blood donation volume of an adult weighing 60 kg cannot exceed 400 ml, and is generally 200 ml. That is to say, less than one twentieth of the body's blood is donated. If the amount of blood loss is small, below 400 ml, it can be compensated by tissue fluid and spleen blood storage, and the circulating blood volume will improve within 1 hour.

Second, generally no sequelae

Generally, it will not have any effect on the body. Special groups such as the weak, women during menstruation, spleen dysfunction, anemia, etc. may experience symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, cold sweats, fatigue, and dry mouth, which will generally disappear within 24 hours. At the same time, according to my country's current blood donation rules, the above-mentioned people are not suitable for blood donation, and blood station staff should persuade them to give up blood donation.

3. It can improve hematopoietic ability

At the same time, the lifespan of an adult's red blood cells is less than 4 months. That is to say, even if you do not donate blood, the blood in your body is constantly aging and dying. At the same time, the hematopoietic stem cells in hematopoietic organs such as the bone marrow are constantly producing blood, forming what we call blood metabolism. For people who are obese, lack exercise, are alcoholic, or are elderly, their blood metabolism is relatively slow and their blood viscosity is high, which can easily lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Appropriate blood donation can reduce blood viscosity and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. At the same time, it can improve hematopoietic function and keep the bone marrow vigorous.
