Fatty liver is not an exclusion to blood donation. When they list "liver disease", they mean problems that can be transmitted via the donated blood products. That means viruses, like hepatitis B or C. Cirrhosis does not exclude anyone from donating blood, but the person may be taking medications or have abnormal blood counts or have abnormal vital signs that would prevent the donation.
Donating Blood with Fatty Liver / NASH42 White Male, 510, 181 PoundsMedications: Wellbutrin, Pepcid, Prilosec, AdderallI currently have Fatty Liver / NASH with F2 Fibrosis. I keep seeing things asking for blood donors due to a current shortage, but my local blood bank lists "Liver Disease" as a disqualifying condition.Over the past 7 months, I've lost 50 pounds due to diet and daily exercise. At my last hematology visit, all of my liver blood tests were in the "normal" range. So is there really a reason that I shouldn't give blood? Or do they really mean that cirrhosis is the disqualifier for blood donation?
