A pint of human blood is worth around $130.00 to $150.00

The adult human body contains 10 to 12 pints of blood.

The average adult has about 4 to 6 liters of blood (9 to 12 US pints) in their body.

The average man has more blood than the average woman, and people who weigh more or are taller than others have more blood.

This means a person can die from losing 2 1/2 to 4 liters of blood.

When you donate blood you usually donate 1 pint of blood and your body then makes more blood pretty quickly.

A blood transfusion bag contains around 300 to 320 ml of blood.

A blood transfusion is the process of transferring blood products into one's circulation intravenously.

Blood Transfusions are used for various medical conditions to replace lost components of the blood.

Blood transfusions are generally considered safe, but there is some risk of complications.

Mild complications and rarely severe ones can occur during the transfusion or several days or more after.

More common reactions include allergic reactions, which might cause hives and itching, and fever.

Your blood carries oxygen and nutrients to all parts of your body.

Blood transfusions replace blood that is lost through surgery or injury or provide it if your body is not making blood properly.

You may need a blood transfusion if you have anemia, sickle cell disease, a bleeding disorder such as hemophilia, or cancer.

Some reasons you may need a blood transfusion include.

A serious injury that's caused major blood loss.
Surgery that's caused a lot of blood loss.
Blood loss after childbirth.
A liver problem that makes your body unable to create certain blood parts.
A bleeding disorder such as hemophilia.

Some side effects of a blood transfusion include.

Fever (hotness of the body) and chills.
Dizziness.
Shortness of breath.
Itching.
Hypothermia (low body temperature)
Back pain.
Low blood pressure (hypotension)
