==Guidance==<br />
Iron deficiency is common in women of menstruating age due to chronic blood loss. Females diagnosed with iron deficiency anaemia at workup should be offered a course of iron, and may donate once the haemoglobin has risen to normal level. <br />
<br />
<br />
Male donors where diet or regular blood donation is the cause of low ferritin with or without low MCV, but with normal HB may donate. For BM consider iron replacement. <br />
<br />
Male donors who are anaemic with no clear cause should be deferred for investigation. Donors who have iron deficiency with no clear cause should be deferred for investigation even if they are not anaemic.<br />
