Can i donate blood if i have beta thalassemia trait?

Probably : If your hemoglobin and hematocrit levels are high enough to donate, trait is not a diagnosis that they exclude. You must meet age, weight and other basic requirements too. You can search the sites of either the red cross or carter blood centers for more information & the location of a local facility.

Yes: As long as you meet the donor requirements for donation, then having beta-thalassemia is not a criterion for exclusion. However, females with beta-thalassemia trait rarely meet the donor criterion of hemoglobin of 12 gm/dl and are frequently deferred.
