“…In addition, BMI and WHR were found to be similar between the regular and first-time blood donors. While our report on BMI value agrees with two researchers in Iran and Palestine, 6,18 other groups claimed that BMI was lower 20 and higher 21 in regular blood donors when compared to the first-time donors. The latter is due to the high interest of obese people who understood the health benefits of blood donation.…”

“…This indicated that sociodemographic characteristics did not affect the results as a confiding, which is in congruence with previous reports. 6,18 However, the number of male donors was found to be higher in regular blood donors (RBD) and first-time blood donors (FTD), compared to females, albeit statistically insignificant. Rizvi's report showed a similar trend.…”

“…32 Although statistically insignificant, our result showed a lower HCT level in regular blood donors which is in agreement with previous reports. 18 As the frequency of donation increases (for example, first to fourth times), the haematocrit value significantly decreases. 33 In our study, the mean value of platelet counts was significantly lower in regular blood donors than in first-time donors (p < 0.05).…”

Background: Blood banks have been suffering a shortage of blood worldwide due to limited donations. By and large, it is widely believed that blood donation has multiple health benefits. However, there are limited studies that support it. As a result, assessing the biochemical profiles of the regular blood donors is indispensable to evaluating an individual's risk for chronic inflammation. Objective: We strived to compare lipid and haematological profiles of the regular and first-time blood donors in the National Blood Bank Service of Ethiopia. Materials and Methods:A comparative cross-sectional study, involving 104 blood samples (52 each of regular and first-time donors), was designed to analyze lipid and haematological profiles and anthropometric parameters were measured. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, Chi-square (χ 2 ) was used to compare the relationship between categorical variables and an independent Student's t-test was used to compare the mean of the two groups. A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Regular blood donors had lower mean TC (144.3 ± 28 mg/dL), TG (159.3 ± 88.2 mg/dL), LDL-c (75.9 ± 25.9 mg/dL) than the first-time blood donors with values of TC (158.1 ± 38.94 mg/dL), TG (163.9 ± 82.7 mg/dL), LDL-c (93.1 ± 31.5 mg/dL), respectively. The ratio of LDL-c/HDL-c and TC/HDL-c was found to be lower in regular blood donors when compared to the first-time donors (P < 0.05). Even though the level of HDL-c was higher (39.8 ± 8.8 mg/dL) in regular blood donors compared to first-time blood donors (36.8 ± 7.7 mg/dL), it was not statistically significant. The mean of some haematologic parameters like a platelet, RDW, lymphocyte, and MCH was significantly lower in regular blood donors than in first-time blood donors. BMI and WHR in regular donors were less than the first-time donors, albeit statistically insignificant. Conclusion: Interestingly, blood donation has a significant health benefit by lowering TC, TG and LDL-c, which have the potential risk of developing chronic inflammation.

Introduction: Sushruta stated that Sira Vedha (phlebotomy) at Right Elbow Joint was used as a cure for Liver Diseases. Modern science is likewise on the same page as phlebotomy treatment for some liver illnesses, although the specific location for phlebotomy has not been specified. Similarly, there is diversity in the amount of blood extracted and the time length, with each research study recommending a different amount to be removed and the gap between two sessions. Both of the previously listed things are mentioned in the context of Ayurveda. Nonetheless, due to a lack of clinical proof, it cannot be practiced reliably in normal exercise. As a result, clinical proof for liver illnesses is required to confirm Sushruta’s theory. Methodology: 111 eligible patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) Grade I/II were randomly assigned to the control (group A) or trial (group B) groups in the pilot research (group B). After obtaining written informed permission, blood samples from each patient were collected for LFT and lipid profile testing. The patients in Group A were then just counseled to make dietary changes. Group B patients underwent dietary changes as well as Sira Vedha (phlebotomy) with 65 cc blood three times in 15 days. Checked hemoglobin before each phlebotomy for safety considerations before discontinuing the patient. The blood sample was taken before enrollment in the study and after the final follow-up, which was on the 60th day. Results: The serum results from the first and last follow-ups were compared. This study found that group B considerably improved in liver enzymes and lipid profile (P<0.050) when compared to group A. As a result, we may infer that phlebotomy can enhance liver enzymes and lipid profiles in NAFLD patients.
