You're A+
Watch this video to learn how your blood type and ideal donation support patient transfusion needs.
Your best donation types are...
Platelets
Most patients that need platelet transfusions can receive your blood type, so donating platelets is ideal when you’re A+.
Whole Blood
Your red blood cells can be given to A+ and AB+ patients — that’s a lot of lifesaving power!
Interested in donating platelets or whole blood? Read more about each donation type, or ask your phlebotomist for details. 🙂
These are the ideal donation types based on your blood type, but because hospital patient needs change daily, you may be asked to give a different donation type at your next donation appointment.
