Autologous blood donation

Autologous blood donation is the process where an individual donates their own blood in preparation for a future medical procedure, such as surgery. This means that instead of receiving blood from others, the patient can receive their own blood if needed, reducing the risk of complications or infections associated with blood transfusions. The donated blood is stored and carefully matched to the donor's needs. This method helps ensure a safer transfusion experience and can be particularly beneficial for those with specific blood type requirements or health concerns.
