Kidney infections. Kidney infections (pyelonephritis) can occur when bacteria enter your kidneys from your bloodstream or move up from your ureters to your kidney(s). Signs and symptoms are often similar to bladder infections, though kidney infections are more likely to cause fever and flank pain.
Aspirin is fine to take if you are donating whole blood or double red cells.To be eligible to donate platelets, you cannot take any Aspirin, Ibuprofen or drugs with aspirin-like compounds for 48 hours before your donation.ed blood cells are the oxygen carrying cells. They can take two weeks or longer to fully return to normal. You can donate platelets (apheresis donation) every two weeks â up to 24 times in 12 months. Platelet and plasma components are regenerated in the body more quickly than red cells.
Apheresis platelet donors, however, must not take aspirin or aspirin-containing products 36 hours prior to donation. Aspirin reduces the potency and performance of your platelets. The more time between taking aspirin and donating blood, the better for the recipient. It is recommended that you call the donor center before you come to donate to inquire about any medications you are taking. Most times, taking medications will not keep you from donating.
