Reticulocyte Count (HM0083)

Description

Reticulocyte Count is a blood test used to measure the percentage and absolute number of reticulocytes (immature red blood cells) in circulation. It helps evaluate bone marrow function and is essential in the diagnosis and monitoring of anemia, hemolytic disorders, blood loss, and response to therapy (e.g., iron, vitamin B12, or erythropoietin treatment). An elevated or decreased reticulocyte count provides insight into red blood cell production activity.
