I gave blood today to manage my HEMO, but the nurse at red cross was trying to explain a red blood cell filter called ALYX system where they filter your blood just removing the red cells and returning your whole blood back.
You can only give blood every 120 days with this instead of the standard 60 or so.
They apparently take double the amount of red cells, effectively lowering HEMO greatly. I seem to have a blood type in demand for this so the were asking me to do it.
It takes alittle longer to due and I didn't have the time today so I just did a regular donation, but has anyone tried this and is it worth the extra time involved by stretching out the number of donations a year?
