Normal (i.e. healthy) red bloods cells live about 120 days in the bloodstream, after which they die and are replaced by new ones. In some unhealthy conditions, for example in sickle cell anemia, red blood cells usually die about 10 times faster (after only 10 to 20 days). In such unhealthy conditions, the bone marrow that produces these red blood cells can't maintain the necessary replenishment rhythm.
