What's the difference between SDP and RDP platelets?

Random Donor Platelets (RDP) are pooled from 4–6 whole-blood donations. Single Donor Platelets (SDP) come from one apheresis donor and contain 6–8× the platelet count in a single unit, with lower infection risk. For dengue and cancer patients, doctors often prescribe SDP.

Can I donate platelets in Nashik?

Yes, if your platelet count is at least 1.5 lakh/µL and you weigh 50+ kg, you can give SDP by apheresis at an equipped blood centre. The process takes 90 minutes and you can donate every 14 days (maximum 24 times a year).

What is the cost of one SDP unit?

Government blood banks charge approximately ₹8,500 per SDP unit (regulated rate). Private centres charge more. Many Nashik centres waive the fee if you bring a replacement donor.

How many blood banks are there in Nashik?

Nashik has 18 registered blood banks, blood centres, and blood storage centres as per the eRaktKosh portal of Government of India. The list includes both government and private facilities.
