What does Retic Count measure?
A reticulocyte count measures the number or percentage of young red blood cells (reticulocytes) in the blood. It may help assess how well the bone marrow is producing red blood cells and how the body is responding to anemia, blood loss, or treatment for certain blood disorders. Results are usually interpreted along with a complete blood count and other clinical findings.
