donor adverse events

Donor adverse events are unintended but generally minor side effects experienced by individuals donating blood or organs. Common reactions include feeling lightheaded, dizziness, or bruising at the donation site. These events occur because the body reacts to the donation process, such as the temporary decrease in blood volume. Medical staff monitor donors closely to ensure safety and manage any reactions promptly. Most adverse events are mild and temporary, and precautions are taken to minimize risks, ensuring that donation remains a safe and beneficial contribution to healthcare.
