Maybe. It depends on the reason your ferritin level is high.
If you have a medical condition such as haemochromatosis, which is a genetic condition that can lead to iron overload, you may be eligible to join Lifeblood’s therapeutic program. Donating blood is a treatment for this condition as it reduces the iron in your body by removing blood. Your doctor will need to refer you for this service as you must meet certain medical criteria. Ask your doctor to access our High Ferritin App to check your eligibility and generate a referral if eligible.
If you have a high ferritin which isn’t caused by haemochromatosis, you may be able to donate blood. You’ll first need a referral from your doctor, which they must generate using our High Ferritin App, confirming that your high ferritin has been investigated and that any significant underlying cause has been addressed.
