Bilirubin and blood donation. pls i want to know if there is any link between frequent blood donation and hyperbilirubinaemia?

No: Blood donation does not result in increase in bilirubin levels.

None: They are unrelated if donating whole blood. There "theoretically" might be a weak link if you are doing pheresis (using a machine to collect blood components) for your donation, but I have never seen a case with any linkage.
