Patient's question:
I have high blood pressure and want to donate plasma. Can people with high blood pressure donate plasma? Will it infect others?Doctor's answer:
High blood pressure is eligible for plasma donation and will never transmit to others, as it is not a blood-borne disease. If your body permits, you should be able to donate blood once a year. Generally, individuals with hepatitis B or other infectious diseases are not eligible for unpaid blood donation. Since high blood pressure is not an infectious disease, you can donate blood unpaid. After donating blood, it is important to rest in bed and eat nutritious foods.
