what is a normal RBC count for a female?
143849
Normal RBC (Red Blood Cell) count for an adult female should fall between 4.2-5.4 million/mm3.\n\nHigher numbers may indicate: kidney disease, polycythemia vera, dehydration or congenital heart disease.\n\nLower numbers may indicate: anemia, bleeding (hemorrhage), leukemia or malnutrition from deficiencies of iron, folate, vitamin B-12, and vitamin B-6

You must be a man.  No, because it is not all blood.  It is the lining of the uterus and it comes out in clotts.  That can not be transfused to anyone.

I would contact a hematologist so that you can have thorough exam...but I also want you to understand that there are normal high and low results...there are some people who don't conform to the norma...a normal WBC is 4.0 to 10.5..I would like that second opinion with a hematologist and ease my fears..As a nurse I would not speculate what it may be..and as I said it may be normal for you..I have cared for patients who has a normal temperature of 96 and if they have a fever it is 98.6 so see we are not all the same...good luck and I hope you get good news.

Your body needs iron to produce red blood cells which carry oxygen. If you don't get enough, you may become anemic, and feel very tired all the time. \nYou should talk to your doctor on how much iron is safe to take. Women naturally disperse extra iron in their bloodstream during their period, but it is dangerous to take high doses.

You could also be anemic.  Have a blood test done and check that out.

All female mammals bleed. You seem to be concerned about the amount of blood you lose. Unless there is something wrong, normal menstrual blood loss is minimal...on average less than a 1/4 cup total. Not all of the fluid you see in your pads/tampons are blood either...but mixed with the blood, it makes it look like more.

Yes, as long as you're not in danger of anemia.  The nurse where you go to donate will test your iron levels before you donate whether you're menstruating or not and they won't let you donate if your iron levels aren't high enough.  As long as you're OK on that score, you're fine to donate while on your period.  I have.

According to Victor Herbert, MD, a hematologist at the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, there are normally about 1,000 milligrams of iron "stored" in the average adult man's body but only about 300 milligrams in a premenopausal woman's. Once women stop menstruating, however, their iron levels -- and their heart disease risk -- begin to climb, eventually matching that of men.

iron in your blood, it's normal

A lot of people give misinformation on here....\n\nYES! A woman WILL stop having her period if she experiences rapid weight loss or her BMI drops below i think 8 or 9. I'm not sure of the exact number, but it is around 10 I think. BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It is a mathematical estimate that basically takes in account your height and weight and estimates how much of your body is made of fat. A normal number is around 20. 25 or higher is considered overweight. And anything over 30 is obese. Anything under 15 is underweight and is just as dangerous as being obese.\n\nSo to answer your question, she will probably stop having her period if she drops another 10 pounds or so. And such a situation is EXTREMELY dangerous. At that low of a weight, she would run a very high risk of permanently damaging her liver and kidneys. Her hair may also start falling out and her nails will become brittle. She needs serious help, both mentally and physically. She has a very serious disorder.

No.  It is high.  \n\nYour top number should be 120 or less.  Anything between 120 and 140 is "borderline" high.  Yours is above that, so you are high.  Your bottom number should preferably be 80 or below.  Up to 90 is borderline.  Again, you are above that.\n\nBut one test doesn't prove anything.  People vary from day to day and from time to time within a day.  Several readings are necessary before your doctor can make any diagnosis or recommend any treatment.  \n\nIt is also important to get your blood pressure taken by a professional.  Don't rely on the machines you find in drug stores and supermarkets.  If your reading of 148/96 did not come from a doctor or nurse's blood pressure meter, then it is time to get an accurate reading before you start to worry too much.\n\nGood luck.  Hi blood pressure  is a funny thing.  It doesn't hurt, so it is easy to ignore or even forget about entirely.  But it can *kill* you just the same.  On the other hand, treating it is usually fairly easy, assuming you get to it before it does any damage to your heart, your eyes, or your kidneys.  So don't wait around.  See a doctor.  Good luck!!

Blood actually comprises 7% of total body weight.  In an average size, 150-pound man, the volume of blood is about five quarts. \n\nListed below is a website with more info about blood, in the form of quizzes.

About 4-7 days... that's pretty standard for most females.

just look at the values that aren't normal\nanother thing to look at in ALL is the size of the WBC, they'll be VERY large\n\nhematocrit is very low at 36%, normal should be between 42-48% depending on if you're a male or female\n\nhemoglobin is very low at 8g/dL, normal is about 12-15 depending on if you're male of female\n\nWBC count is very high, normal amount is about 12,000\nneutrophil count should be 65% of WBC count or about 7500\nbasophil count should be <1% of WBC count or about 200\neosinophil count should be 4% of WBC count or about 400\nmonocyte count should be 6% of WBC count or about 700, so THAT is VERY HIGH at 1,800\nlymphocyte count should be 25% of WBC count or about 3000 so that is VERY HIGH at 4,700\n\nplatelet count should be about 150,000-300,000 so it's VERY LOW

A normal WBC is in the range of 4.8 to 10.8 thousand cells per microliter (uL) of blood. After the total WBC is determined, the WBC's are broken down into their different types. This is called a differential blood count or Diff.\n\nThere are five different types of white blood cells:\nNeutrophils\nLymphocytes\nMonocytes\nEosinophils\nBasophils\nThese different types all have unique functions in the normal processes of the body. Changes in the amounts of these different types, whether or not the WBC count is normal, high, or low, also gives the doctor important information.\n\nNormal Ranges for a Differential Blood Count:\nNeutrophils: 3150 to 6200/uL*\nLymphocytes: 1500 to 3000/uL\nMonocytes: 300 to 500/uL\nEosinophils: 50 to 250/uL\nBasophils: 15 to 50/uL\n*(/uL stands for per microliter of blood)
