Benefits from Donated Blood

Blood donation benefits many people. One pint of blood benefits donors in the following ways:

Each pint of whole blood donated by one person helps three other people.

One pint of blood may be separate into its various components such as plasma, red blood cells and others. If one pint of blood is used as components, it can help seven people.

Blood donation benefits surgical patients. A liver transplant patient, for example, may need up to ten pints of blood during surgery. Blood transfusions are needed during many types of surgery and for accident victims.

People undergoing chemotherapy and radiation benefit from blood donation.

Individuals with sickle-cell anemia need blood donations to replace their red blood cells.

Donated blood saves the lives of premature infants and children. Many of these tiny patients require blood transfusions, and only blood from a donor can help them.
