Plasma donation

in three simple steps

Step 1
Eligibility Screening The process begins with registering your personal data, where three key documents are required: a valid ID card, address card, and TAJ card. After that, you complete a short questionnaire followed by a thorough medical examination, during which a blood sample is taken. It is important to note that plasma donation does not take place at this stage. The laboratory analysis of the blood sample takes about one week, and the results determine whether someone is eligible to become a plasma donor.
Step 2
Plasma Donation When you visit us again, another short questionnaire and medical check will be conducted. During this, we check your basic health indicators: body temperature, blood pressure, pulse, hemoglobin level, and body weight. Regular monitoring of these parameters also helps protect your health. The actual plasma donation takes approximately 60 minutes on average. The duration may also depend on how much fluid you consumed before the donation.
Step 3
A Good Deed Deserves Appreciation Every time you donate plasma, you help another person—whether by saving a life or improving someone’s quality of life. Haema Plasma appreciates this selfless act and expresses its gratitude through various benefits, such as cash compensation, gift vouchers, nutritious snacks, and regular promotions. Your help is valuable, and we want to show how grateful we are!

What is blood plasma?

Blood plasma is the liquid component of blood, a yellowish fluid. This part performs the "courier service" of the bloodstream: it transports red and white blood cells, nutrients, and essential substances throughout the body. Red blood cells carry oxygen to the necessary parts of the body, white blood cells fight pathogens and help heal injuries, while platelets help stop bleeding.

Why is it important?

Plasma donation can be life-saving, as medicines made from donated plasma are used to treat serious and often rare diseases such as bleeding disorders and immune system problems. Plasma proteins are used to produce many essential and life-saving medicines for patients. The contribution of voluntary donors is crucial for improving patients' quality of life. Plasma donors therefore help not only individuals but the entire community.

Who can donate plasma?

Plasma donation is possible for people who are between 18 and 60 years old, healthy, and have a body weight between 50 kg and 150 kg. First, we conduct a medical examination and blood test to make sure everything is in order. If the initial test results are satisfactory, during the next visit we perform another medical check, questionnaire, and other necessary assessments before approving the plasma donation. The plasma taken during one donation is reproduced by the body within two days, therefore at least two days must pass between two plasma donations, meaning the next donation can take place on the third day, but no more than 45 times per year (365 days).

What is plasmapheresis?

Plasmapheresis is a special medical procedure in which plasma is separated and collected from the blood. The process is similar to blood donation: blood is taken from the donor's vein, and a special machine separates the plasma from the blood cells. After separation, the useful blood cells are returned to the donor's body. The procedure is not painful and feels no more uncomfortable than a standard blood donation. By donating plasma, you can help improve the lives of many patients—just as with whole blood donation.

About Haema Plasma

The mission of Haema Plasma Ltd. is to support the production of life-saving plasma-derived medicines with the help of selfless donors, contributing to the treatment and improved quality of life of Hungarian patients suffering from serious illnesses.

Plasma Donation – Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between plasma donation and blood donation?

Blood consists of several components: plasma and cellular elements such as red blood cells and white blood cells. During blood donation, the entire blood composition is collected, while during plasma donation only the plasma is collected. After separating the plasma, the useful blood cells are returned to the donor’s body. After plasma donation, with proper nutrition and fluid intake, the body typically regenerates within 48 hours.

What percentage of blood is plasma?

Approximately 55% of blood is plasma. It is extremely valuable because it is the basis for life-saving medicines used to treat rare chronic and sometimes life-threatening diseases. This unique component allows us to help those who need it the most.

What is blood plasma used for?

The blood plasma collected at Haema Plasma plays a significant role in medical innovation. It is used to produce life-saving medicines for the treatment of rare chronic and sometimes life-threatening diseases. As a recognized leader in transfusion medicine, we also offer a comprehensive portfolio of solutions aimed at increasing safety from plasma donation to transfusion. Plasma is therefore a true life-saving gift, making every plasma donor a hero.

Is research conducted at the center?

Haema Plasma Ltd., headquartered in the heart of Budapest, proudly operates seven plasma donation centers in Hungary and works closely with selfless donors who want to help others and contribute to the community.

The valuable plasma collected by our company is used to produce plasma-derived medicines that provide life-saving treatment for Hungarian patients suffering from serious conditions such as immune deficiencies and bleeding disorders.

Haema Plasma Ltd. is a partner of the Grifols company, a key player in the global healthcare industry. Grifols processes the plasma collected at Haema Plasma to produce life-saving plasma-derived medicines. These treatments are used for primary immunodeficiencies, hereditary angioedema, acute idiopathic polyneuritis, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, and several rare neurological and genetic conditions, contributing to the fight against chronic, severe, and life-threatening diseases.

We are proud of our mission to help people living with serious illnesses lead full lives.

What documents can replace the mandatory IDs (TAJ card, ID card, address card)?

The ID card can be replaced with a Hungarian passport or driver’s license. The TAJ card can be replaced with a European Health Insurance Card or an EU health insurance certificate. The address card can be replaced with official documents such as a residence permit or dormitory certificate confirming your address in Hungary.

How can I cancel my appointment?

If you booked your plasma donation appointment by phone or in person, you can cancel or modify it via our toll-free hotline. If you booked online, you can manage your appointment through our online booking system. Appointments for eligibility screening booked online can be cancelled via the link in the confirmation email.

What is hemophilia?

Hemophilia is a serious condition in which the body is unable to ensure proper blood clotting, which can lead to life-threatening bleeding problems. Plasma donation can provide hope in such cases, as medicines made from plasma can help treat patients with hemophilia. This means that every plasma donation truly matters. In fact, approximately 1,200 plasma donations are required to provide a hemophilia patient with a one-year supply of medication.

What does the eligibility screening consist of?

The eligibility screening is a thorough health check that begins with a vein assessment. If your veins are suitable for plasma donation, a comprehensive medical examination and blood test follow. Laboratory results are typically ready within 7–10 days, and if everything is in order, you can begin donating plasma. This process ensures that plasma donation is safe for both donors and recipients.

Does taking medication affect plasma donation?

Certain medications may affect your ability to donate plasma:

  • Taking contraceptives does not affect eligibility if they were taken at least 3 hours before donation.
  • If you are taking antibiotics, antiviral, or antifungal medications, at least one week must pass after the last dose before you can donate plasma.
  • In the case of other regularly taken medications, a medical assessment is required. If you have specific questions, please contact us by phone or visit the Plasma Center in person.

Do illnesses affect plasma donation?

Various illnesses may affect eligibility for plasma donation, therefore each case is assessed individually by a physician. If you have undergone dental treatment, experienced a fracture, or had surgery, please consult our medical staff at the center or by phone beforehand. After recovering from an infectious disease, you must wait at least 2 weeks before donating plasma again.

Can I eat before the eligibility screening?

Yes, Haema Plasma experts recommend eating before the eligibility screening.

When will I receive the results of my medical examination?

You will be informed about the results of the physical examination during the visit. Blood test results are typically available within about one week. If we have your email address, you will receive a notification once the lab results are ready. If no email address is registered and the results are not satisfactory, we will contact you by phone to invite you for a personal consultation. About one week after the eligibility screening, you can inquire about your results and register for your first plasma donation.

Is plasma donation harmful to your health?

Plasma donation is safe, as most of blood plasma consists of water, while the remaining components—such as proteins and vitamins—can be easily replenished with proper hydration and a balanced diet. Plasma donation is not harmful to your health if you follow our recommendations. In addition, our donor screening staff check the most important parameters during every donation to ensure both your well-being and the safety of the procedure.

Is plasma donation harmful in the long term?

Plasma donation is not harmful in the long term either, provided you follow the recommendations of Haema Plasma. The body quickly restores fluids and nutrients, such as proteins and vitamins, especially if you eat and drink properly after donation. A healthy and balanced diet supports fast recovery, which is why proper nutrition is particularly important for plasma donors.

Are both arms used during the procedure?

Only one arm is used, except in rare cases when the initial puncture is not successful for plasma donation. In such cases, our qualified staff will decide whether a second attempt is necessary. We always strive to make the process as comfortable and safe as possible for you.

Does my blood come into contact with someone else’s?

No, your blood does not come into contact with anyone else’s. During every plasma donation, we use sterile, single-use equipment to ensure maximum safety and hygiene.

Do patients receive these medications free of charge?

Medicines produced from blood plasma are provided to patients with support from the public healthcare system, helping them in their recovery.

Why might I feel unwell during plasma donation?

At Haema Plasma, it is rare for donors to feel unwell during donation. If it does occur, it may be due to insufficient fluid intake on the day before or the day of donation, or lack of sleep. Stress, donating on an empty stomach, or nervousness before the procedure may also contribute. It is important to arrive well-rested, properly hydrated, and calm in order to minimize the risk of discomfort.
