Early detection of iron depletion among blood donors allows for appropriate interventions to be made before blood donors are deferred. In this commentary, we propose the use of ferritin measurements to safeguard donors against developing iron deficiency and ultimately increase the chances of retaining blood donors in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Blood donor retention and iron deficiency anaemia in sub-Saharan Africa: A call for more robust donor screening methods Given that the blood donors had passed the copper sulphate (CuSO SB 4 sb ) screening test, the findings imply that current haemoglobin screening methods are less sensitive in detecting iron deficiency and are limited in safeguarding blood donors against developing anaemia.
