Each unit of blood is broken down into components, such as red blood cells, plasma, cryoprecipitated AHF, and platelets. One unit of whole blood, once it's separated, may be transfused to several patients, each with different needs. Annually, more than 21 million blood components are transfused.

Who are the blood donors Most blood donors are volunteers. However, sometimes, a patient may want to donate blood a couple of weeks before undergoing surgery, so that his or her blood is available in case of a blood transfusion. Donating blood for yourself is called an autologous donation.

Volunteer blood donors must pass certain criteria, including the following: Must be at least 16 years of age, or in accordance with state law    Must be in good health Must weigh at least 110 pounds Must pass the physical and health history exam given before donation Some states permit people younger than 16 or 17 years to donate blood, with parental consent. What tests are done in blood banking A certain set of standard tests are done in the lab once blood is donated, including, but not limited to, the following: Typing: ABO group (blood type) Rh typing (positive or negative antigen) Screening for any unexpected red blood cell antibodies that may cause problems in the recipient Screening for current or past infections, including: Hepatitis viruses B and C Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Human T-lymphotropic viruses (HTLV) I and II Syphilis West Nile virus Chagas disease  Irradiation to blood cells is performed to disable any T-lymphocytes present in the donated blood.

(T-lymphocytes can cause a reaction when transfused, but can also cause graft-versus-host problems with repeated exposure to foreign cells.) Leukocyte-reduced blood has been filtered to remove the white blood cells that contain antibodies that can cause fevers in the recipient of the transfusion. (These antibodies, with repeated transfusions, may also increase a recipient's risk of reactions to subsequent transfusions.) What are the blood types According to the American Association of Blood Banks, distribution of blood types in the U.S.

The watery, liquid part of the blood in which the red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets are suspended. Plasma is needed to carry the many parts of the blood through the bloodstream.

Plasma serves many functions, including the following: Helps to maintain blood pressure Provides proteins for blood clotting Balances the levels of sodium and potassium Cryoprecipitate AHF. The portion of the plasma that contains clotting factors that help to control bleeding. Albumin, immune globulins, and clotting factor concentrates may also be separated and processed for transfusions.
