Abstract

Abstract: The causes of blood donor deferral at National Blood Centre (NBC), Thai Red Cross Society, during one year period (2000-2001) had been analysed. After self-section, the potential donors are subjected to preliminary health checking which includes hemoglobin estimation and blood pressure. Attempt to correct the problems for donor deferral had been done continuously. As the
result, the donor deferral fom all causes decreased from 12.46 to 10.14 percent. Main impact from iron supplementation caused the decrease of iron deficiency anemia from 43:56 to 37.67 percent. Another main cause of donor deferral was sickness that required antibiotics and some other drugs also decreased from 19:98 to 17.73 percent. This study will challenge the evolution of the donor
deferral system from passive to active manners so that the blood transfusion service will be to provide safe and adequate blood for all.
