blood cells have a life span of 100 - 120 days. Red cells that are transfused have been stored for up to 35 days in the blood bank. The blood donated will have been a mixture of cells between 0 and 120 days. Regarding replacement of your own blood then it depends how much blood you have lost. If you have been transfused to a decent level of Haemoglobin, then your bone marrow will replace your red cells as normal and whole bodies red cells will have been replaced within 120 days.

Medicare does cover liver and kidney transplants.\nYes, use 66 for team surgery on the Part B claim\n\nLive donor hepatectomy, “backbench” preparations and transplant surgeries are Physicians’ Services that may be submitted to the Carrier (Part B) under the transplant recipients Medicare number. These surgeries are subject to all Medicare Global Surgery rules. When these services are performed on the same date of service in adjacent rooms they should all be reported on the same claim form with a 66 modifier applied to the transplant procedure codes (47135, 47136) to ensure correct payment.

O+ 39% \n\nA+ comes in second at 34%\nO+ can be used for all the other + blood types. \n\nOnly 7% of the population has O- but it can be used for all blood types. \n\nDonations go down in the summer months because of vacation travel ...so now is great time to donate blood and save a life. \n\nAll blood types are appreciated and needed but O- and B- blood types are especially needed now.

Good question!  Here's the procedure in California.  I don't imagine it would be all that different from state to state.

Human liver transplant was first performed by Thomas Starzl in USA and Roy Calne in England in 1963 and 1965 respectively. Liver transplantation is the only option for those with irreversible liver failure. Most transplants are done for chronic liver diseases leading to cirrhosis, such as chronic hepatitis C, alcoholism, autoimmune hepatitis, and many others. Less commonly, liver transplantation is done for fulminant hepatic failure, in which liver failure occurs over days to weeks. Liver allografts for transplant usually come from non-living donors who have died from fatal brain injury. Living donor liver transplantation is a technique in which a portion of a living person's liver is removed and used to replace the entire liver of the recipient. This was first performed in 1989 for pediatric liver transplantation. Only 20% of an adult's liver (Couinaud segments 2 and 3) is needed to serve as a liver allograft for an infant or small child. More recently, adult-to-adult liver transplantation has been done using the donor's right hepatic lobe which amounts to 60% of the liver. Due to the ability of the liver to regenerate, both the donor and recipient end up with normal liver function if all goes well.

In the UK if your taking insulin, then you will not be able to give blood. This restriction is because concern about the health of the blood donors, \n\nIn the US To give blood for transfusion to another person, you must be healthy, be at least 17 years old or 16 years old if allowed by state law, weigh at least 110 pounds, and not have donated blood in the last 8 weeks (56 days). "Healthy" means that you feel well and can perform normal activities. If you have a chronic condition such as diabetes or high blood pressure, "healthy" also means that you are being treated and the condition is under control. \n\nInsulin\nThose who since 1980, received an injection of bovine (beef) insulin made from cattle from the United Kingdom are not eligible to donate. This requirement is related to concerns about variant CJD, or 'mad cow' disease. Learn more about variant CJD and blood donation.

You must be a man.  No, because it is not all blood.  It is the lining of the uterus and it comes out in clotts.  That can not be transfused to anyone.

agree with 12-14 g/dL\n\na little lower for adult women, and a little higher for adult men, since they don't menstruate.\n\nlower than 10 is anemic, and some people require blood transfusions when they drop below 9.
