[QUOTE="Stpfan, post: 195079, member: 39333"] I was reviewing lab work right after donating blood at the Red Cross. [B]I donated blood on May 4, 2020. I had lab work done on May 5, 2020 (Ferritin, And Iron Transferrin TIBC) Ferritin 53 ng/mL[/B] (Standard Range 14 - 338 ng/mL) [B]Iron 63 mcg/dL[/B] (Standard Range 65 - 175 mcg/dL) [B]Transferrin 254 mg/dL[/B] (Standard Range 163 - 382 mg/dL) [B]TIBC 356 ug/dL[/B] (Standard Range 250 - 425 ug/dL) [B]Iron Saturated Percentage 18%[/B] (Standard Range 13% - 48%) Based on these numbers... my Hematologist says my body recovers well from donated blood. And there's nothing to be alarmed about. I asked him about an Iron supplement and he said absolutely not. It would do more harm than good. Furthermore, After donating blood on one day.... then fasting the next day getting 6-7 vials drawn for testing.... um... don't ever do that. Right after doing my lab work. I fainted at the lab in the hospital. Last thing I remember... I asked the lab tech... I normally don't ask for anything... but could someone please get me some orange juice or apple juice? She said yes... I will get that for you. Seconds later... from what people told me... I got up... from a seated position... crashed on the floor. Twisted my ankle... and a Rapid Response Code was issued. I was blacked out for approximately 9 minutes. That was the first time I ever fainted in my life. I was extremely pale in my face. There was a nurse on staff that kept on saying oh sh#$ oh sh#$ when I woke up... and the lab tech lady was in tears when I woke up. I could only imagine what it looked like to her. I won't ever do that again. The moral of the story.... Don't donate blood and then the next day fast for 8 hours and get lab work drawn up. Yes, I had lab work done on a Monday... ate like crazy that day... and donated on Tuesday... I didn't have any issues. Yeah it sucks in life.... I didn't think donating on a Monday... and then fasting for 8 hours and getting labs drawn on Tuesday would screw you up? But yeah... that was a nightmare. [/QUOTE]
