Summary

Only very few studies have prospectively looked at the effect of repeated intensive plasma donation. In collaboration with the Rode Kruis Vlaanderen, we have recently found that repeated whole blood donation with a 3-month interval in between induced a drop in markers for iron status, which worsened with the number of donations. The repetition effect of the donations, whether whole blood or plasma, can be different from the effects measured after one single donation. It is therefore critical to test and document this repetitive effect to build trustable and valid guidelines concerning repetitive plasma donation.
