Question About RBC On Labs
- Thread starter Poppy
- Start date
This is why I’ve long stood by the stance that donation isn’t helpful unless your CBC lab panel is all critically and dangerously high.
It’s a compensatory response to bring your overall fluid volume status in your body back to normal. The loss of blood signals the need for rapid and large scale erythropoiesis. Which caused your RBC to come back high. If your were to check again 48 hours after this it would most likely be exactly normal/where it was before you donated.
Donating for sake of donating is still a good thing. We need blood badly. And constantly. But donating for the therapeutic blood letting isn’t really doing what we think it’s doing.

They clearly need to reread their mentors manifesto…as it is commonly known in order to separate one from their blood, a harem is the best tool. (Circa 2023 lap dance for your blood maybe!? )
