Reticulocyte count Test in Pune

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.

• Patients with anemia: A reticulocyte count test is commonly performed in patients with anemia to determine if their bone marrow is producing enough red blood cells to compensate for the loss.
• Patients with blood disorders: Patients with blood disorders such as sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, and hemolytic anemia may require a reticulocyte count test to monitor their response to treatment.
• Patients undergoing chemotherapy: Chemotherapy can suppress bone marrow function, leading to a decrease in the production of red blood cells. A reticulocyte count test can help monitor the patients response to treatment and determine if further intervention is needed.
