Platelets in Karur — FAQs

Platelets have only a 5-day shelf life — the shortest of any blood product. Demand spikes during dengue season (typically July–November in north India) and around cancer treatment schedules. Most blood banks rely on directed donation from family or apheresis donors.
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.
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).
Government blood banks charge approximately ₹8,500 per SDP unit (regulated rate). Private centres charge more. Many Karur centres waive the fee if you bring a replacement donor.
Karur has 4 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.
Most government blood banks in Karur operate round-the-clock for emergencies. Private centres may have different hours. Always call ahead to confirm availability and operating hours.
Use the live availability table on this page. Pick a blood group and a component (whole blood, PRBC, platelets, or plasma). The grid shows units currently reported by each blood bank in Karur.
