In this episode you will learn: - The minimum hemoglobin for allogeneic donation is 12.5 g/dL for females and 13.0 g/dL for males. - The minimum hemoglobin for an autologous (self-donation) is lower, at 11.0 g/dL. - A standard allogeneic whole blood donation is 450-500 mL and requires an 8-week (56-day) interval between donations. - Autologous donation criteria are more relaxed to allow patients to donate for their own upcoming surgeries. - Apheresis allows for the donation of specific components like platelets and has much shorter donation intervals than whole blood.
