Is RBC 6.35 high, normal or dangerous? What does Red blood cell count level 6.35 mean?

📅 Medical Review Date: December 19, 2025

RBC 6.35

Your RBC level of 6.35 is a High RBC level.

An RBC level of 6.35 mil/uL usually means the body is producing too many red blood cells or is dehydrated. It suggests oxygen delivery may be affected. High levels of RBC can cause headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, itching, flushing, high blood pressure, and increased risk of blood clots. This can be caused by living at high altitudes, smoking, lung disease, heart disease, or bone marrow disorders. Further tests are often needed to identify the cause and guide appropriate treatment.

If you are a male and your RBC is in between 4.5 mil/uL and 5.5 mil/uL, or if you are a female and your RBC is in between 5 mil/uL and 6 mil/uL then you need not worry as 4.5-5.5 mil/uL is the normal range for men and 5-6 mil/uL is the normal range for women. But if your RBC is lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.
