Explanation of Condition
To calculate BMI, use this calculator:
Guidance
Acceptable for PBSC if over 50kg (or 7st 12lb) and BMI less than, or equal to, 40.0.
Acceptable for BM if over 50kg (or 7st 12lb) and BMI less than, or equal to, 35.0.
Donors outside these limits at work-up should be discussed with the medical officer who may allow them to proceed after discussion with the Chief Medical Officer or Medical Director.
Greater discretion may be used with overweight PBSC (rather than BM) donors, in whom an increased risk is less clear.
