Liver and renal function,blood lipids,and blood glucose after blood donation in long-term blood do-nors aged 45-65 years
Objective To investigate the liver and renal function,blood lipids,and blood glucose at 3 months after blood donation in long-term blood donors aged 45-65 years,as well as the possibility of continuing to donate blood after exceeding the age for blood donation.Methods The long-term blood donors who donated blood at our station from September to December 2016 were selected,and according to the age,they were divided into group A(45-49 years of age),group B(50-54 years of age),group C(55-59 years of age),and group D(60-65 years of age).Liver and renal function,blood glucose,and blood lipid levels were measured at 3 months after the most recent blood donation and were compared between groups.Results There was a significant difference in the serum level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)at 3 months after blood donation between groups A/B/C and group D(t=2.45-4.61,P<0.05),while there were no significant differences between the four groups in liver and renal function and blood glucose at 3 months after blood donation(P>0.05).Conclusion The long-term blood donors,aged 45-59 years,tend to have stable liver and renal function,blood lipids,and blood glucose at 3 months after blood donation,and long-term blood donation does not affect the above indicators.The blood donors aged 60-65 years have a higher level of LDL-C after blood donation,with other indicators remaining stable,and therefore,they may be considered as potential blood donors.
