Depends on specifics: Depends on the condition(-s) leading to the protein and calcium issues. Would suggest you check the Red Cross eligibility pages to see if your diagnosis is listed: http://www.redcrossblood.org/donating-blood/eligibility-requirements IF no specific help there, can call the # provided with questions.
