What is the suitable hemoglobin level for female donors?

The suitable hemoglobin level for female donors is typically set around 12.5 grams per deciliter (g/dL). This threshold ensures that donors can safely give blood without risking their own health, as adequate hemoglobin levels are essential for maintaining sufficient oxygen delivery to tissues in the body. A level of 12.5 g/dL indicates a healthy enough hemoglobin concentration to minimize the risk of anemia in donors after donation.

Blood donation guidelines account for lower hemoglobin levels in women due to physiological differences such as menstruation and variations in body mass, which can affect blood volume and hemoglobin concentration. Maintaining a hemoglobin level above this threshold helps in ensuring that the donors remain healthy post-donation and can continue to contribute to blood drives in the future.

The other options suggest hemoglobin levels that are either too low or higher than what is typically required for female donors, which may not align with accepted donor eligibility criteria.
