Platelet Donation

Just one month ago my friend's eight-year old son died from dengue.I guess everybody feared this dreadful desease. There is a lowering of the platelets brought by the mosquitoes bite, in this case there is a need for platelets donation. I learned from health and home that there is now an easy way of platelets donation called Plateletpheresis.The sophisticated medical equipment-blood cell separators- can collect enough platelets for transfusion from a single donor. It takes only one to two hours to complete a little bit longer than a regular donation bacause it takes extra time to separate and collect the platelets from the other blood componets.It's simple, very safe process.

I have the heart to share this information for this will help to those people who have special health-care needs.These people may be undergoing serious health problems like leukemia, cancer aplastic anemia and dengue patients. This can mean the difference between life and death. Platelet donation is helping save life.
