[QUOTE="Hank Moody, post: 240892, member: 42672"] I did my first Power Red donation on 12/7 after a 12/1 blood draw at LabCorp reported my hematocrit at 56.1 and 53.4 (see chart below). BTW - I had two different doctors orders for the labs and the blood was drawn at the exact same time. I am still very confused / concerned as to how results between the tests can vary so much and it calls into question the overall accuracy of the Lab Corp processes and tests. Regardless, I knew it was time to donate and I opted for a Red Cross power red donation. The double red process was relatively painless, took about 45 minutes and I did not feel nearly as tired / drained as I normally do after a whole blood donation. I retested at LabCorp on 12/15 and hematocrit was 48.1 vs 56.1 (53.4) on 12/1. [ATTACH type="full"]27667[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
