I still recall the nervous butterflies in my stomach the first time I decided to donate plasma. Just like you, I was unsure if my weight would meet the requirements.
That’s why I’ve put together this Plasma Donation Weight Chart including a table showing the required weight and corresponding plasma quantity you can donate as a male and female.
