Calculation of Blood Neutrophil turnover rate during one decade of an individual’s life. Assumes the half-life of neutrophils in circulation is 1 day (See text for discussion).
| Parameter | Estimates |
|---|---|
| Blood volume | 5000 ml (A) |
| Average Neutrophil count | 5000 /μl (B) |
| Circulating Neutrophil pool (CGP) (A × B) | 2.5 × 1010 cells (C) |
| Total Neutrophil Blood Pool (TGBP) 2 × C | 5 × 1010 cells (D) |
| Half-life in Circulation (h) | 1 Day |
| Neutrophil turnover rate per Decade (3650 days) | 0.91 × 1014 cells/Decade |
