Is donated blood tested before it is given to a patient?
Yes donated blood is tested before transfusing to any patient
Last updated on 20 Feb 2023
A direct donation occurs when a patient's ABO and Rh compatible family members and/or friends donate blood for his or her upcoming procedure. Otherwise a patient has to be given blood which has been processed atleast for a week before transfusing on a patient.
A CBC tells you how many new blood cells your body is getting created that are number of red blood cells (RBC or erythrocytes), white blood cells (WBC or leukocytes) and platelets.
Most patients begin to feel better soon after transfusion around 24 hours post a sucessful transfusion.
CBC, C-Reactive protein, LFT and KFT and cancer markers are the best blood test that should be done yearly.
