Description

The red cell mass can be estimated from a person's lean body mass.


 

red cell mass in grams =

= (32.74 * (lean body mass in kg)) + 155.17

 

Since the specific gravity of red blood cells is 1.093-1.096, the red cell volume can be estimated as:

 

red cell volume in mL =

= (red cell mass in grams) / (1.094)
