Apheresis donation is special type of blood donation mainly on platelet transfusions for someone who has battled cancer; someone who has been seriously injured; someone who has needed open heart surgery, those who needed platelets during their treatment to help them recover. Platelets aid in clotting to prevent or stop bleeding.
