Join the CSL Plasma team
and save lives with your plasma.

As of 6 November 2024, we are opening our doors to foreign donors every WEDNESDAY at our Debrecen centre,
with English-speaking assistance provided!

There are many diseases that can only be treated with plasma. 

As plasma cannot be created artificially, it is only through human effort that it can be made available to every patient. 

In Hungary alone, tens of thousands of people rely on us, hoping to live a happier, healthier life tomorrow. 

Your assistance is essential for this, and we will show our gratitude to you each and every time.

Donating blood plasma is
safe and painless process.

When people hear about plasma donation, many think of some strange procedure, but it is far from that. 

The process itself is very similar to blood donation. We take blood from your vein, but instead of the whole blood, we filter out only the yellow component, the plasma, and return the other part, the red blood cells, to your body. 

Before you get worried: it is a safe and sterile process, and during the plasma extraction, you will feel nothing, and during the return of the red blood cells, you will only feel a slight tingling sensation. 

How you can become a plasma donor? 

1. Check if you can be a donor! 

You must meet the following criteria: 

1. You must be between 18 and 59 years old.

2. Your BMI must be between 18.5 and 40, which can be determined from your weight and height. You can calculate it here. 

3. You must not be pregnant, at least 6 months must have passed since childbirth, and you must no longer be breastfeeding.

4. You must wait 4 months after getting a tattoo or piercing.

5. You must have a social security number, either Hungarian or EU.

6. If you have been in contact with someone who belongs to a high-risk group for blood-borne infections (HIV, Hepatitis B and C, etc.) such as intravenous drug users or sex workers, you cannot be a donor.

7. Diabetes, infectious hepatitis, or organ/tissue transplantation are also disqualifying factors.

8. If you have any chronic illnesses (e.g., heart disease, lung disease, autoimmune disease, severe asthma, etc.), you cannot be a donor.

9. English language proficiency is mandatory.

2. Come prepared, as you might be able to donate plasma. 

There is an opportunity to donate plasma on the first occasion.
This is possible if the doctor authorizes it for you, and you arrive prepared:
drink 1 litre of water for a morning plasma donation, or 2 litres for an afternoon plasma donation.
Additionally, do not come on an empty stomach; eat something light 1.5 hours beforehand.

3. Book an appointment for the first examination. 

To avoid waiting and queues, we kindly ask you to always book an appointment with us.
You can do this here, on our website.

What will happen
during the first examination?

When you enter the centre's door…

We will welcome you with a big smile, as we are always happy to see new plasma donors.

But of course, it doesn’t stop there. 

 

1

step

First, we measure your body temperature, then check your weight and calculate your BMI index. Afterwards, you will be seated in a booth where you will thoroughly learn about the plasma donation process, the rules to follow, and fill out a short health test (this is for the doctor). All of this is done on a tablet, comfortably and quickly.

2

step

Once you are done with these, we measure your blood pressure and haemoglobin level, then take a photo of you for your personal donor card. 

3

step

Then, behind closed doors, you will sit with the centre’s doctor, who will discreetly discuss your medical history, check your test results, and perform a comprehensive exam.

4

step

If the doctor at the centre finds no issues, we will collect a blood sample to check if your values are within the normal range and if you are eligible for plasma donation. This will determine if you can be a donor. The results will be available in 5-7 days, and you can inquire about them via our free hotline.

5

step

You already have the opportunity to donate plasma on your first visit. For this, you need to arrive prepared, and the doctor must also authorize it for you. 

What does it mean to arrive prepared? 

For a morning plasma donation, drink 1 litre of water, and for an afternoon plasma donation, drink 2 litres.

Additionally, do not come on an empty stomach; eat something light 1.5 hours beforehand.
