A member asked:
How much blood can a person lose before it is fatal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It depends on the pace at which blood is lost. Acute loss of 30% or more carries risk of death. Slow blood loss, e.g. Excessive menstrual loss can reduce blood hemoglobin to levels as low as 5.0 gm without many symptoms.
