Purpose:

  • To determine the prevalence of anemia and its specific causes in blood donors.
  • To identify iron deficiency and hemoglobinopathies in this cohort.

Summary:

  • Biological examinations of 2,630 blood donors revealed an 8.6% anemia rate.
  • Iron deficiency accounted for 4% of cases, while hemoglobinopathy was identified in 0.64%.

Impact:
