Additional Information
Phlebitis is inflammation of a vein. It has several causes, many of which are not of major concern. Recurrent attacks may indicate a more serious underlying condition and this is why a person who has had two or more attacks in the last 12 months cannot donate.
Treatment may affect the risk of the donor having extensive bruising or bleeding post-donation and may also affect the quality of the donation. Because of this, a seven day period off treatment is required before a donation can be accepted.
