[QUOTE="madman, post: 158555, member: 13851"] Highly doubtful even when having 8 tubes drawn each time that this small amount of blood loss is lowering your ferritin. Donating for sure as 500 ml of blood is being drawn! [B]*If you need a lot of tests therefore, you could end up having about [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]30 ml of blood [/COLOR]([COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]about six medicine teaspoons[/COLOR]) taken out of your arm.[/B] [SIZE=22px][B]How much blood is normally taken?[/B][/SIZE] [B]This depends on the sort of tests you are having done. Many tests can be done on the same sample of blood so you do not need to have a single bottle for each one: [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]The bottles do not necessarily have to be completely filled either.[/COLOR][/B] [LIST] [*][B][COLOR=rgb(147, 101, 184)]Purple bottle - 3 ml - used for a full blood count (FBC) and ESR[/COLOR].
