Plasma can be donated by those who are between the ages of 18 and 65, are healthy and weigh up to 50 kg, but not more than 150 kg. First, we do a medical exam and a blood test to make sure everything is fine. If the results of the first tests are good, then the next time we will carry out a medical examination, questionnaire and other necessary checks before approving the plasma donation. The plasma collected once is regenerated by the body within 2 days, therefore 2 days must pass between two plasmapheresis, so the next plasmapheresis can take place on the third day, but no more than 45 times in a year (365 days).

The process starts with the entry of personal data, where the three key documents – valid identity card, residential address card, TAJ card – are required. After registration, we will give you a donor information sheet, followed by a roughly one and a half page questionnaire. This is followed by a thorough medical examination, during which we also take a blood sample. It is important to know that no plasma donation takes place at this time. You have to wait about a week for the results of the laboratory test of the blood sample, which also helps determine whether someone can be a plasma donor.

Please arrive exactly at the booked time so that we can be sure to receive you. In the days before the examination, we recommend increased fluid intake, in order to make your veins easier to find. It is important to bring your valid identity card, social security number and address card with you. Please note that we are unable to accept you if you are breastfeeding or pregnant, or if you have had a piercing or tattoo in the last 4 months. Our eligibility criteria include that you weigh between 50 and 150 kg, and if you are on long-term medication or have undergone a medical procedure, please bring your medical records.

Blood consists of different components: plasma and shaped elements such as red blood cells and white blood cells. When donating blood, the entire composition of the blood is removed, but when donating plasma, only the plasma is collected, after separating the plasma, the useful blood cells are returned to the donor’s body. After plasma donation, the body regenerates within 48 hours with proper nutrition and fluid replacement.

The plasma collected once is regenerated by the body within 2 days, therefore 2 days must pass between two plasmapheresis, so the next plasmapheresis can take place on the third day, but no more than 45 times in a year (365 days). It usually takes 2 days for the body to replace the proteins, ions, fluid volume, blood sugar and other nutrients in the plasma. It is rarely necessary to tailor the donation rate to an individual, however, if justified, our doctors set the optimal donation intervals individually, so it is possible that we will recommend a less frequent plasma donation rate. In general, it can be said that with adequate nutrition, 1 plasma donation per week is not burdensome for the body. At Haema Plasma, we check the most important parameters during each plasma donation, so our doctors can ensure safe plasma donation for everyone.

We will inform you about the results of the physical medical examination already during the examination, and you will have to wait approximately 1 week for the results of the blood test. If we have your email address, we will send you a notification after receiving the results of the laboratory test. If you do not have a fixed email address and the lab results are not suitable, we will contact you on the phone number provided to invite you to a personal meeting. One week after the suitability test, you can find out about the test result and apply for the first plasma donation.

Plasma donation is safe, because most of the blood plasma is water, and the rest consists of substances such as proteins and vitamins, which can be easily replaced with adequate fluid intake and proper nutrition. Donating plasma is not harmful to health if you follow the recommendations. Also, our donor examiners check the most important parameters at each plasma donation, for the sake of your health and the safety of plasma donation.

Patients receive medicines made from blood plasma with the support of social insurance, thus helping them to recover.
