Currently, there is a significant shortage of donated blood and blood components worldwide. According to WHO recommendations, an adequate and reliable supply of safe and high-quality donated blood and blood components can only be achieved through regular voluntary unpaid donations. The study aims to examine the main biochemical indicators characterising iron metabolism in first-time allogeneic blood donors, in order to subsequently use them as reference values for comparative analysis in scientific research, as well as for developing practical recommendations concerning strategies for recruiting and retaining first-time voluntary unpaid blood donors. The methodological basis of this study was a systematic approach, which allowed for a comprehensive study and analysis of the biochemical indicators of iron metabolism in primary allogenic blood donors. The results obtained were used to develop practical recommendations for the Blood Centre of the Armed Forces of Ukraine regarding the strategy for attracting and retaining primary blood donors who make voluntary unpaid donations. Based on mathematical analysis, a positive correlation has been established between the indicators of secondary metabolic disorders in the examined donors and the main biochemical indicators of iron metabolism in first-time allogeneic blood donors, which may be used as reference values in conducting comparative analyses in future scientific studies.
