التبرع بالدم

Is the process of collecting and preparing blood and other blood components for transfusion, as well as selection of appropriate, compatible blood components for transfusion.
and is dependent on the clinical laboratory for ensuring the safe use of blood and its other components.

The main and major role of blood bank laboratory is to provide the safest and compatible blood and/or blood components to all recipients/patients, if this is not possible, the blood bank will provide the most compatible or least incompatible blood to the patients.

It is a process by which a blood donor voluntarily has blood drawn for storage in blood bank. Generally for subsequent use in a blood transfusion.

Is carried out when a person voluntarily agrees for blood to be drawn with the intention of donating it
The donated blood may be used for transfusions or it may be separated into individual
components to be used as required
The latter procedure is called fractionation
It is the responsibility of hospitals, Blood collection centers, and Blood storage facilitie


to protect the health of those donating Blood and to assure the safety of the Blood supply in general. Therefore, tests will be performed and a donor’s general health evaluated at the time of every donation. All physical conditions are ultimately subject to the review and approval of a physician in charge and accountable. High or low Blood pressure may exclude a donor for an undetermined length of time. Low hemoglobin (iron) content in the Blood is also cause for temporary deferral.
