I have a lingering issue donating blood to the red cross dating back to the early nineties. I donated after a heavy workout and my ALT or some nonsense was elevated. I went to see my doctor and everything was fine. Obviously, i'm still alive and healthy but the red cross still has me on the black list. I have them looking into it and it seems at some point i can get off the list. I dug around and found another organization that i have never used and should happily take a pint from me but i want to make sure that i don't say the wrong thing and i'm wondering what they test for. I don't want to get put on another black list. So for example having been eating dbol like a hog in the weeks immediately prior and having elevated liver values? I thought someone mentioned hemoglobin needed to be in range. Obviously they don't check hematocrit because half of us are over 50%. What do i need to know?
