The objective of this study was to "Identify the causes of deferral and rejection in blood donors who visited the Hospital Nacional Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen in June - July 2017." The study included all blood donors who visited the blood bank during this period, with a total population of 5,170, of which 1,058 were deferred or rejected. A retrospective, quantitative, basic, cross-sectional, descriptive, non-intervention, and observational study design was used, with a data collection registration form as the instrument. The results were processed using Microsoft Excel, and percentage tables were created. Results: Out of the 5,170 blood donors, 1,058 (20.5%) were deferred or rejected, with 953 (90.07%) deferred and 105 (9.92%) rejected. The main cause for deferral was low hemoglobin at 34.0%, followed by leukocytosis at 16.26%. The main cause of rejection was high-risk sexual behavior, accounting for 72.38% of all rejections, with malaria in second place at 8.57%. Conclusions: The causes of deferral were low hemoglobin, leukocytosis, overstock, and the causes of rejection were high-risk sexual behavior, malaria, and syphilis. The percentage of deferral causes was 18.5%, and rejection was 2.0%. The causes of deferral identified in the study were more prevalent in males, while deferrals due to low hemoglobin were more common in females. The causes of rejection identified in the research predominated in males.
