Additional Information | There are many reasons why an individual may be deficient in a specific hormone. If this is related directly to malignancy, or to the treatment of malignancy, or to the use of pituitary derived hormones (these have been linked with prion associated diseases), the donor cannot donate in order to protect any person who may receive a donation from that individual. As well as hormones, donors may take other medication to modify the effect of sex hormones as part of gender-affirming treatment. This may include hormone blockers, such as anti-androgens. |
Reason for Change | Title changed. Added ‘Include’ and ‘Additional information’ sections, and amended ‘obligatory’ ‘discretionary’ and ‘links’ sections. |
