Description
- Reticulocyte Count: A laboratory test that measures the number of reticulocytes, or immature red blood cells, in the blood, providing insight into the body’s red blood cell production.
- Purpose: Used primarily to assess bone marrow function and evaluate the body’s response to anemia, blood loss, or other conditions affecting red blood cell production.
- Normal Range: Typically expressed as a percentage of total red blood cells, normal reticulocyte counts range from approximately 0.5% to 1.5%, depending on the individual and the laboratory.
- Elevated Count: A high reticulocyte count may indicate increased red blood cell production due to conditions like hemolytic anemia, recent blood loss, or recovery from anemia.
- Decreased Count: A low reticulocyte count may suggest insufficient production of red blood cells, often seen in conditions such as aplastic anemia, chronic kidney disease, or nutritional deficiencies.
- Clinical Relevance: The reticulocyte count is an important diagnostic tool that helps healthcare providers determine the underlying causes of anemia and monitor the effectiveness of treatments.
