A member asked:
I want to donate blood, but i have graves' disease and i am anaemic, would it still be okay to donate blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: An anemic person may not have enough blood to donate and to keep for herself, meaning she might get symptoms if she gives away a pint of her blood. There are, of course, exceptions in special circumstances.
