I’ve forgotten when last time I donate my blood…I think…it was too long time…about two or three years ago…
Mmm…perhaps it is also because of the latest requirement for a blood donor it self which is already changed. As I know, a person who will give their blood must have an adequate and appropriate weight…
Yes…a proper weight that is appropriate with the standard requirement of it…
And as far as I know too, besides having a right hemoglobin scale and blood pressure, a blood donor has to have that suitable weight…at least 50 kg.
But at the previous time, when I firstly donate my blood, at least 45 kg was acceptable.
I’ve just known about the reason why the requirement is changed..
That is because of how many cc of blood taken. There are 2 types of pocket which saves the taken blood; the small one and the bigger one. The small one is for 250 cc of blood and 350 cc for the bigger one…(once again…that is just as far as I know y…I don’t know yet whether it is possible if there are some other types of the pocket).
If the blood donor has a body weight between 45-50 kg, the blood is only taken 250 cc. While the others who is more than 50 kg, 350 cc blood pocket is provided for them…
And once more, based on the writer knowledge…hehehee…
If there are no more 250 cc pockets…(maybe because it is so limited)…45-50 kg donor may not protest its policy that their weight are unacceptable…so they can’t donate their blood…
Yang penting dah ada niat, guys…!
Right, kan?

Wah, tulisane bahasa inggris kabeh... aku ga' dong
aih...aih...
just try it from the little one...
Normally.. adult healthy men or women have approx 6 liters of blood flows in the body. Maks amount of blood drawn (not affect the health) is 1/8 part of total blood volume, it means 750 mL of blood can be once donationed & need approx 3 months* to 'blood-volume recovery' before next donation.
Thus..
altough you are underweight :P
u'r BP just on the border of bottomline (110/70)
but.. you are 'very-ngeyel' to donate 250-350 mL of yours,
it's save, gals :)

* based the laws of the country where the donation takes place. in the United States, donors just wait 8 weeks (56 days) to take next donation schedule.
