    No. All the red cells are returned to you. Basically, what they take out is fancy water. You will replenish your plasma is a very short period. Donate as often as they will let you.

    I think I've given at least 70 pints of plasma.

    If you are anemic already? But on meds for it, will they allow you to donate?
