RBC for 1 unit of blood contribute how many HB level
Hi all,
Just wondering anyone knows 1 unit of RBC transfusion contribute to how many HB level ? According to my mom hematologist, around 2 for each unit of RBC blood transfused. I dont know how true is his comment.
Example : If your HB is 5 before BT, and if 2 packs of blood are transfused, then your HB should be around 9.
