Anemia Normal Range. For women serum ferritin normally ranges from 12 to 150 ng dl while men range from 12ng dl to 300ng dl or nanograms per deciliter. The human body retains and reuses up to 90 percent of the total amount of iron according to the mayo clinic. The mcv is also age specific figure 1 1 with normal. Reticulocytes are raised in anemia because of the erythropoietin raised level.
The world health organization who defines anemia as a hemoglobin level less than 13 0 g dl in adult men and less than 12 g dl in adult women. The human body retains and reuses up to 90 percent of the total amount of iron according to the mayo clinic. The normal level of hemoglobin is generally different in males and females. Normal hemoglobin levels range from 11 5 mg dl to 17 5 mg dl depending on gender. Reticulocyte level increases in 2 to 3 days and the peak level reaches 6 to 10 days. The normal range is 0 5 to 2 5 and the absolute count is 25 to 125 x 10 9 l.
Reticulocytes are raised in anemia because of the erythropoietin raised level.
New lower limits of normal hb values have been proposed according to ethnicity gender and age. The overall anaemia cut offs have been unchanged since 1968 with the exception that the original age group of children 5 14 years of age was split and a cut off of 5 g l lower was applied to children 5 11 years of age to reflect findings among non iron deficient children in the usa 6. However normal hb distribution varies not only with sex but also with ethnicity and physiological status. Normal hemoglobin levels range from 11 5 mg dl to 17 5 mg dl depending on gender. The normal level of hemoglobin is generally different in males and females. Normal adult hemoglobin values are generally 14 to 18 grams per deciliter for men and 12 to 16 grams per deciliter for women.
