At my Donor Center, we currently do NOT accept volunteer donors who are on ace inhibitors. I realize that this isn't the norm and that most donor centers are accepting these donors. I have been assigned the task of trying to convince my Medical Director that this is an acceptable practice now. Any advice on where I can get information, articles, or other resources on accepting volunteer donors on ace inhibitors.

Thanks

We occasionally have a problem with hypotensive reactions and patients on ace inhibitors. I don't know of any literature that specifies a problem if the donor is on ace inhibitors.
