What is Reticulocyte count Test
Reticulocyte count test is a laboratory test that measures the number of young red blood cells (reticulocytes) in the blood. It is performed to evaluate bone marrow function and to diagnose and monitor certain conditions such as anemia, blood loss, and hemolytic disorders. The test is typically performed by taking a blood sample from a vein in the arm and analyzing it using automated blood cell counters or by manual microscopy. The test results are usually reported as a percentage of total red blood cells or as a number of reticulocytes per microliter of blood.
