Title: How do the pros do it: Question #271 - Blood donation
Post by: Thong Maniac on March 03, 2015, 05:51:04 PM: How does a guy shredded at 260 walk into a red cross and donate due to his out of control hematocrit and rbc count? These guys are obviously enhanced and using steroids is a question they ask when u donate. Any insiders know how they do this without being flagged or turned away?

Post by: simon on March 03, 2015, 06:09:19 PM: yes hemoglobin. 20 is their cut-off. If your over 20 which many will get on heavy long cycles they will not pull blood for risk of clotting. You then need a script for a therapeutic phlebotomy from a doctor.

The central blood bank is 18.5 I believe

Hemoglobin needs to be below 20 to donate double reds. You can still donate whole blood.

This was eight gallons and I will hit nine in two months.

I wondered that and had them test me immediately after. It dropped two points.

Double reds gives the largest drop but I feel like crap and on occasion the machine would not register RBC so I was switched to whole. They have been tracking my donations a long time and began sending me pins, letters, hats etc the last couple of years.
