About test
What does Absolute Reticulocyte Count measure?
The Absolute Reticulocyte Count measures the number of reticulocytes, which are immature red blood cells, in the blood. It may help assess how actively the bone marrow is producing red blood cells. Healthcare professionals may order this test when evaluating anemia, blood loss, red blood cell destruction, or response to treatment for certain blood-related conditions. Results are interpreted along with other blood tests and clinical information.
