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 Sangli?

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 Sangli centres waive the fee if you bring a replacement donor.
