At what rate does your body replace blood after making a donation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Two part-er: The plasma volume is restored w/in 48 hours. The red blood cell mass is replaced in most donors within 4 weeks...But some need up to double that for full "recovery, " which is part of where the 56-day interval comes from.
