Abstract:
Objectives: To correlate the serum Ferritin level, hemoglobin concentration and red blood cell indices among blood donors.
Material and Methods: This is prospective, cross-sectional analytical study. Conducted in Wad-Madani central blood bank, Gezira state from July to December 2020. Venous blood samples were taken from 140 donors. The blood samples were investigated for various haematological parameters on a fully automated haematology analyzer (Sysmex xp-300). Serum Ferritin was estimated using chemical analyzer (A15).
Results: The mean value of serum Ferritin was found to be (141.46 ±97.85). The study showed normal serum Ferritin level in 122 (87%) of blood donors and low serum Ferritin in 6 of male blood donors (4.3%). 12 of blood donors showed serum Ferritin level above the normal range (8.6%).
Conclusion: The study concluded that regular blood donation had less effect on serum ferritin level.
