The normal range for red blood cell (RBC) count varies depending on whether you are male or female.
- Male: 4.7 to 6.1 million cells per microliter (cells/mcL)
- Female: 4.2 to 5.4 million cells/mcL
These ranges are just a guide, and they can vary between different hospital laboratories. If your RBC count is outside of the normal range, it could indicate a number of conditions, such as anemia or polycythemia.
