to abbreviated info... Plus information on WBCs and PTLsBelow chart shows 2-3 samplings of what is considered normal for Red Blood Cells, for Hemoglobin & for Hematocrit.
|
Normal ranges are higher in men than in women, as they have more muscle mass Call your own doctor or clinic staff, if you have had blood work done in the past, they can give you these 3 figures.
Track your own ranges & see if they are holding constant, or declining over time. Be involved in your own medical assessments.
Should the red blood cell count be on the low side, or even borderline normal ask your doctor to check the 'Retic' Ratio - Are your red blood cells low function? Are you approaching hemolytic anemia * Complete Blood Counts are also important - & absolute cell count |
