The ranges below represent standard adult physiological values. Your laboratory's printed reference range always takes precedence.

Adults (general)

20 – 100 G/L

Adult females

20 – 100 G/L

Adult males

20 – 100 G/L

Common alternative units:
/mm3(×0.001 G/L)
/µL(×0.001 G/L)

%(×50 G/L)

What does a low result mean?

A modest count may indicate production temporarily slowed by lack of building blocks like iron or vitamins.

What does a high result mean?

An elevated count indicates a vigorous bone marrow response actively building fresh red blood cells.

Questions ready for your doctor

Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:

  • Does this confirm that my marrow is actively responding?
  • Would nutritional support optimize red cell synthesis?
  • Should this be monitored following treatment?
