Description
Reticulocytes are precursors of red blood cells that circulate in the blood for less than 48 hours. The reticulocyte count is a measure of bone marrow activity. The reticulocyte count is important in assessing erythropoiesis in anemia and monitoring iron therapy. Abnormal reticulocyte counts occur in chronic, increased bone marrow blood cell production, and anemia caused by blood cell destruction.
The test determines 7 reticulocyte parameters: Ret.(%) relative and Ret (#) absolute reticulocyte count, IRF-fraction of immature reticulocytes divided into the share and degree of their maturity, i.e. HR% (reticulocytes with high RNA content), MR% (reticulocytes with medium RNA content), LR% (reticulocytes with low RNA content) and RET-He- equivalent hemoglobin in reticulocytes.
