Not a scientist, but there is always a range which varies from lab to lab. My own experience during chemo was that when it got low, they did something about it (I don't remember if it was a shot of aranesp or procrit) without me bringing it up (they looked at my blood counts, said you need a shot, and that was that). I think its one of the things they keep a careful eye on (particularly the nurses) and do something about.
