Iron Status in Blood Donor Dogs
BACKGROUND Despite the popularity of canine blood donor (BD) programs, there is scarce scientific information regarding iron status in this canine population of dogs. OBJECTIVE To assess iron status in dogs used in a blood donor program. ANIMALS A total of 130 healthy dogs (75 BD, 55 controls [C]) were included. A subset of dogs (n = 12) were used to evaluate the effects of repetitive donat...
متن کاملEvaluation of Iron Deficiency Using Reticulocyte Indices in Dogs Enrolled in a Blood Donor Program
BACKGROUND People donating blood more than twice annually are at risk of developing iron deficiency. Little is known about the iron status of dogs enrolled in blood donor programs. HYPOTHESIS Dogs donating blood ≥6 times annually will show evidence of iron deficiency based on their reticulocyte indices. ANIMALS Thirteen dogs enrolled in a blood donor program donating ≥6 times over the prece...
متن کاملIron status in voluntary blood donors
DISCUSSION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Although several studies have indicated that repeated blood donation induces iron depletion and iron deficiency, all blood centers still test only hemoglobin as an indicator for selecting the donors. The present study shows the importance of measuring the iron stores and then proposed a strategy to prev...
متن کاملDiscrepancy in ABO Blood Grouping in a Blood Donor: A Case Report
Detection of ABO blood groups through agglutination is the basis of pre-transfusion testing. However, weak agglutination reactions may be obtained with reagent antibodies and are a result of weak expression of A and B antigens on red blood cell surface which may cause a discrepancy in blood group typing. Here, we report a donor which showed discrepancy between red blood cells (forward) and seru...
متن کاملQuantification of body iron and iron absorption in the REDS-II Donor Iron Status Evaluation (RISE) study.
BACKGROUND Repeated blood donation alters the iron balance of blood donors. We quantified these effects by analyzing changes in body iron as well as calculating iron absorbed per day for donors enrolled in a prospective study. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS For 1308 donors who completed a final study visit, we calculated total body iron at the enrollment and final visits and the change in total bod...
