How much blood is taken during donation?
Depending on weight, the amount of blood taken during donation is usually 1 pint (450ml). However, the donor may choose to donate more.
How long to regenerate the human blood supply?
The same question was asked at another site and this was the answer given:As an example, on average a normal, healthy individual who donates aunit of blood (about 450 ml or ¾ pint) will fully recuperate from theblood loss in four to six weeks.The issue is a bit more complicated than that though. You see, ourblood is made up of a variety of things:Red blood cells that carry oxygen from the lungs to all other tissues in the body.White blood cells that provide the body's defenses against disease.Platelets, specialized cells that plug damaged blood vessel walls andjoin other elements in the blood in the production of clots to stopbleeding.Plasma, a yellow fluid made up of about 92% water and 7% vitalproteins such as albumin, gamma globulin, and antihemophilic and otherclotting factors.And other elements consisting of mineral salts, sugar, fats, hormones,and vitamins.Red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets account for about45% of the volume of blood in the body. The remaining 55% is plasmaincluding the other extraneous elements I mentioned. The four tosix-week period I indicated a moment ago is the time necessary toreplace ALL these factors, though our bodies actually replace some ofthe individual components faster than others. For example, the fluid(mostly water) lost in a blood donation, is replaced in only a fewhours, provided the donor drinks a moderate amount of water orhealthy, non-alcoholic liquids to replenish the loss. The othercomponents of the blood, such as platelets and red cells begin toreplenish immediately but take a bit longer to complete; usuallywithin a few days or weeks depending on how much blood is lost.Generally speaking, after donating a unit of blood, the body replacesthe fluid and white cells within 24 hours, and platelets and plasmaproteins within 48-72 hours. The red blood cells are completelyreplaced in 4-6 weeks.It would be safe then to say that a blood ?sample? (rather that awhole unit) or a small amount of loss due to a very minor scrape orbleed could conceivably be fully replaced in a healthy individualwithin hours. How fast the entire blood loss is replenished obviouslydepends on the amount of blood lost, the size of the individual (forevery 12-15 pounds of body weight, a human being has about one pint ofblood) and the health of the individual from whom the blood isremoved. If the body is functioning normally and there are noextenuating circumstances (interfering medication, unhealthy lifestyleor diet, etc) age alone should have little or no impact on the naturalreplacement of blood. A poor diet or sedentary lifestyle can howeverhave an impact on how fast the body replaces blood because of thenecessary nutrients in a proper diet that enable the cell replacement.Lack of exercise, for example, can lead to obesity (and ultimately theneed for more blood than normal) and can certainly causearteriosclerosis or other venous constrictions than can complicateblood flow, adding to difficultly or delayed replacement. This ofcourse is just one hypothetical situation, but there are others.Replacement is also relative to size and exercise (or lack thereof) Ifa pint of blood is a significant portion of a person?s entire bloodvolume (as in a newborn for example) it will take longer for the bodyto replace half the blood volume. In a 500lb man, a pint of blood isnot that much in terms of overall blood volume, BUT his body may havea difficult time replacing that pint in the normal range ofexpectations because of his morbid obesity and other health factors.So you can easily see how diet and excercise can affect bloodreplacement.As a rule though, if you are relatively healthy, eat right more oftenthan not, and even moderately exercise you can expect a fairlypredictable and complete replacement of a non-life threatening bloodloss within the time frame I specified regardless of your age.
How much blood is in an average human body?
Blood makes up about 7% of your body's weight. The average adult has 10 pints of blood in his or her body. One unit of blood is roughly the equivalent of one pint. This proportion is much greater in children, and slightly different in men and women. Men, on average, have 8 to 10 pints, while women have 5 to 8 pints. That is just over a gallon or 4 - 5 liters for men and slightly less for women. Larger people and populations can go much higher, up to 8-12 pints depending on the size of the person.
How many units of blood are in the human body?
* There are 450ml in a unit of blood. * The average adult body contains between 5-6 litres of blood. Given that information, the average adult human body would contain 11-13 units of blood.

If you have lost a pint of blood in less than 24 hours is that bad?
