A member asked:
What to do if i have been donating blood for 12 years. just recently they said what to do if i have hla antibodies,?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing to do: These antibodies will not cause any disorder in you. However, transfusing blood with these antibodies can cause lung disease in the recipient. You do not need to do any thing other than not donating blood.
