A member asked:
When i was 4, i had anemia. it's gone now at age 17, but will me having had it in the past disqualify me from donating blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on why: Ask parents what cause was from. Most juvenile issues that resolve on own are not permanent disqualifiers. Donation screening nurse will ask for details if it comes up at all.
