Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. To assess the hematological and biochemical (iron stores) parameters in repeat voluntary male platelet donors as predictors of iron stores depletion. 2. To analyse for the correlation of parameters (biochemical and hematological) with the frequency of plateletpheresis donationTimepoint: Single time point measurement at baseline only | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
