Your estimated total blood volume is about 4.98 L (4,985 mL).

  • This estimate uses the Nadler equation; most healthy adults sit near 65 to 75 mL of blood per kilogram of body weight.
  • Turn on the hematocrit split to see how much of the volume is red cells versus plasma.
  • Actual volume varies with body composition, fitness, altitude, and pregnancy, so treat this as a population estimate.

Next stepClinicians use blood volume for transfusion, blood-loss, and dosing decisions, discuss your numbers with a professional.
