Can You Get An MPN Through A Blood Transfusion?
Since I can no longer donate blood because of this is it possible someone who doesn't know they have a MPN pass it along?
I don’t believe MPN’s can be “caught” from other people, and if they could be the folks handling blood donations would be screening for them.
That said, I donated blood regularly pre-diagnosis, and had been told for years after the pre-screening at the Red Cross that my Hgb and Hct ran a little high and could be indicative of a serious blood disorder.
I suspect my regular donations delayed the event (pulmonary embolisms) that led to my diagnosis.
What I Dislike Perhaps The Most About Our Mpn Is The Daily Taking Medication Telling Me That I Am Sick !
