I was wondering if giving blood to the red cross, let's say like 500 ml, short before a hair transplant surgery would be a problem? (like a week before).
Anyone?

No problem.
The only problem WOULD BE, if you are on Finasteride/Dutasteride, or any other drug that affects DHT in your blood serum level. These drugs could be transferred to the party receiving the blood transfusion, which may be a pregnant woman or a child. YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT THIS!! ADVISE THE HEALTH CARE PROVIDER ASSISTING YOU IN THE BLOOD DONATION!

mmhce,
Thats a good point. But doesnt Finasteride only stay in your system for a short time (a day or two) before it is naturally flushed, or does the fact that the blood is external from your body eliminate this process?

The half-life of finasteride is about 4 and 1/2 hours.
The half-life of the enzyme after long term exposure to finasteride is approximately 30 days. Like I said, this question has serious medical implications and a qualified physician should answer a question like this. Transferring body fluids is a bio-hazardous process and needs strict quality control.

mmhce,
I always enjoy reading your posts regarding drugs and medical implications. You appear to have extensive knowledge of hair loss drugs in particular, how they work, and how the interact chemically in the body. Are you a chemist, biologist, etc? What do you do for a living? Best wishes, Bill

A clinic may require you undergo a blood-test prior to your procedure, which, of course, on your end, would involve the same act. No, it shouldn't be a problem to donate half a liter of blood a week before you have work done.
