A normal red blood cell (RBC) count for kids typically falls within a specific range. According to WebMD, kids can have a slightly lower RBC count than adults and still be considered normal.
Generally, a normal RBC count for children is between 4.0 million to 5.5 million RBCs per microliter of blood.
Here's a breakdown in a table format:
| Category | Normal RBC Range (million/microliter) |
|---|---|
| Children | 4.0 - 5.5 |
It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate interpretation of RBC test results, as normal ranges can vary slightly between laboratories and individual circumstances.
