a low red ount means that you have fewer numbers of red blood cells (RBC) per volume of blood than is normal..

"normal" will vary slightly from lab to lab, based on the equipment used, but normal ranges are listed below.

If you have a level lower than the range listed, the main concerns a Doctor will have are either

1. increased loss (bleeding somewhere in the body)

2. decreased production, which could be caused by a myriad of things.

  • Women: 4.2 to 5.4 million/uL
  • Men: 4.7 to 6.1 million/uL
  • Children: 4.6 to 4.8 million/uL

Another value that is similar is given as a percentage is called a hematocrit and normal vaues for that are:

  • Male: 40.7 - 50.3%
  • Female: 36.1 - 44.3%
