Dear Doctor: I want to donate blood, but is it safe when my tests have been this abnormal?
Mar 18, 2026
DEAR DR. ROACH: I’ve always had some abnormal blood tests. I have an elevated HDL cholesterol, and my hemoglobin count is 15.7 g/dL. I have tested negative for polycythemia. I also have an alkaline phosphatase of 145 IU/L. Can I donate blood safely? -- R.J.S.
