<span><span>Autologous donations require a doctor’s prescription.You must call 1-800-RED-CROSS to schedule an appointment in advance and request an Autologous Donation form to be signed by your physician.You must be in reasonably good health. You will not be allowed to self-donate if you have an active infection and you may not be allowed if you have a heart condition.There is no age limitation for autologous donation.Unless otherwise directed by a physician, you may safely donate blood every four to seven days and up to three business days before your surgery as long as you meet the donation guidelines.You cannot donate within 72 hours of your surgery.Acetaminophen (Tylenol), aspirin and alcohol should be avoided for 48 hours before your donation.Your hemoglobin/hematocrit will be checked and must be at a satisfactory level before donating. A physician may prescribe iron supplements to prevent deferral at the donation site, especially if you have been anemic or are making more than one donation.If blood loss during your surgery is less than anticipated, transfusing the autologous blood may not be medically necessary. If the donated blood is not used during surgery, it is discarded since current safety standards do not allow its transfusion to other patients.</span><span>  Dyess - Blood Donor

 </span></span>

A directed donation occurs when a patient's family and friends donate blood for his or her upcoming procedure. A patient must give consent and have his/her physician submit a written request for the Red Cross to collect blood from the selected donors.

Carefully consider the following:

<span>There is no evidence that patients can select safer donors than the volunteer blood system provides.All donated blood products are tested with the same tests for HIV and other infectious diseases, which further enhances the safety of the blood supply.Social pressure associated with directed donations may compromise the reliability of the donor’s answers to health-history questions</span>

The Red Cross accepts both directed and regular donations and encourages eligible donors to give blood for patients in need.

How does your body's defense system work
alex41 [277]
Your immune system uses a huge army of defender cells - different types of white blood cell. You make about 1000 million of them every day in your bone marrow. Some of these cells, called macrophages, constantly patrol your body, destroying germs as soon as they enter. This is your 'natural' or inborn immunity. But if an infection begins to take hold, your body fights back with an even more powerful defence of T- and B-cells. They give you acquired immunity, so that the same germ can never make you as ill again.
