Answer

The normal blood cell count varies depending on the individual’s sex. 

  • Women: 4.2 - 5.4 million red blood cells per microliter of blood
  • Men: 4.7 - 6.1 million red blood cells per microliter of blood.
  • Children: 4.0 - 5.5 million red blood cells per microliter of blood.

If the blood cell count is more or less than these ranges may indicate some problem.
