Objective: To determine the seroprevalence of infectious markers causing loss of blood donations in the Blood Bank Service in Hospital Nacional Docente Madre Niño San Bartolome January 2008 to December 2013. Material and Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted. Inclusion criteria were donations of whole blood without complications that meet the quality criteria and standards of PRONAHEBAS. Data analysis was conducted in three basic processes: coding, tabulation and construction of tables and graphs. The technique used for the statistical verification of the results was by SPSS version 20.0 statistical analyzer. Results: The findings were 4.63% for HBcAb, 1.78% for syphilis, 1.21% for antibodies to HTLV I-II, and 5.31% for other serological markers of a total of 11399 complete donations. The overall prevalence was 9.36% for all markers which caused a loss of 1016 donations, 457.2 liters of blood, and 61893.28 USD lost. Similarly, frequent associations between infectious markers were HBcAb that of syphilis and HBsAg, and the three components explaining the variance were associated with chronicity and concentrated epidemics in populations, occupational exposure and surrogate relationship. Conclusion: The prevalence found shows the poor quality of blood donors and the high economic impact of discarded blood show the limitations of the donation chain. So it is appropriate to continue sanitary education campaigns, best practices in transfusion medicine and selection of blood donors to prevent transfusion-transmissible infections, increase the blood supply without compromising the receiver without new donations also reduce the economic cost lost by donation.
