A member asked:
Would regular two month blood donation affect bilirubin, albumin and other liver function bloodwork? wouldnt the blood loss skew the lft numbers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: http://www.bloodcenters.org/blood-donation/facts-about-blood-donation/ The major side effect from donating blood frequently is low blood iron and anemia. LFTs are not likely to be affected. See the site above information about blood donation.
