Zat Besi Di Pendonor Teratur Dan Yang Tidak Teratur

Abstract

Blood donation is a process of taking blood from someone, either voluntarily or as a replacement donor blood banked for later usein blood transfusions. Regular donors are donors who regularly donate blood between 3-4 times a year. Nonregular donors are those who do not routinely donate blood in a year. Each donor donating one bag of blood, suffered a loss of approximately 200 mg of iron. The purpose of this study was to know the differences in the levels of iron profiles in regular and nonregular donors. The study was conducted cross sectional on 65 samples of blood from the UPTD Transfusi Darah South Sulawesi Provincial Health Office, consisting of 34 regular donors and 31 nonregular donors. Serum iron and TIBC levels were examined using ABX Pentra 400 with colorimetric and immunoturbidimetry method. Ferritin level was examined using Elecsys with ECLIA principle. The data were then analyzed by unpaired T test. In this study, the regular donors showed an average serum iron level of 87.09 μg/dL, TIBC level 255.41 μg/dL and ferritin level 121.27 μg/dL. The nonregular donors, showed an average serum iron level of 83.26 μg/dL, TIBC level was 261.80 μg/dL and ferritin level was 158.62 μg/dL. The results showed no significant differences between the levels of iron profiles in regular and nonregular donors. Based on this study, it can be concluded that regular and nonregular blood donation did not affect the levels of iron profiles. It is recommended to conduct a further cohort research to know the levels of iron profiles in blood donors by comparing before and after donating blood.

“…According to Kartika et al (2015), entitled "Iron in Regular and Irregular Donors", the results showed that there was no difference in iron profile levels for regular and irregular blood donors, this is because regular blood donors can still get the opportunity to compensate for the iron that occurs as a result of blood donation by forming new erythrocytes and increasing the absorption of iron which can be obtained with sufficient protein levels. Consumption of insufficient protein levels can affect iron metabolism because it can decrease the absorption process so that ferritin levels decrease and are balanced with an increase in TIBC (Total Iron Binding Capacity) levels [12].…”
