Reticulocyte Count Test in Maharashtra

A reticulocyte count helps distinguish between different categories of anemia and marrow disorders, including:

• Anemia caused by blood loss or red cell destruction (typically a high reticulocyte count)
• Anemia from poor bone marrow production, such as iron, B12, or folate deficiency (typically a low count)
• Aplastic anemia and other bone marrow failure conditions
• Recovery phase after chemotherapy or bone marrow transplant
