The recovering process of the anemia following 400ml blood donation in healthy female volunteers was studied hematologically. The advanced erythropoietic ability was observed from the first day following the phlebotomy. On the 14th day, the rates of reticulocyte and the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration normalized and the serum erythropoietin level indicated a maximum in spite of the decreases of serum iron and ferritin.
There were no obvious side effects following a 400ml phlebotomy for healthy females. It was suggested that the 2 weeks after the 400m1 autologous blood donation would be a suitable period for orthognathic surgery.
