If someone goes to the hospital and they say you have lost 5 pints of blood and you have not been bleeding what is the diagnosis?
How Much Blood Loss Causes Death?
About 5 pints on average.
If you are an elderly person with high blood pressure or heart attack, the loss of 20-30% of blood leads to death. If you are a young age person with any cardinal diseases, death occurs with of loss of 30-40% blood. And if you are healthy adult person with no effects then loss of 40% or above leads to death. This loss of blood majorly occurs due to wounds or breakage of skin over arteries.
"A healthy person, Clark told jurors, walks around with a total blood volume of roughly 12 pints." "But for death to occur, he said, a person would have to lose about 4 pints, or two of the same IV bags, worth of blood." This may be found on this link: www.courttv.com
Well, I'm not positive about that. However, about 5 yrs ago my husband lost a lot of blood. (it turned out to be a bleeding ulcer).
He had lost about 1/2 his blood. He was still alive but not doing well

Technically you could loose all of it and still be alive. You wouldn't be very long but then the concept of consciousness and actual life would become the mitigating issue to be solved and decided.
