RBCs8
- Normocytic anemias can be further classified as hemolytic when there's increased destruction of RBCs, or hemolysis , and non-hemolytic when there's decreased production of RBCs from the bone marrow. (osmosis.org)
- When there's hemolysis , the bone marrow revs up and starts pumping out immature RBCs called reticulocytes, but when there's a bone marrow problem reticulocyte count is low. (osmosis.org)
- The absolute reticulocyte count and corrected reticulocyte percentage, as a marker of RBC production, provide an initial evaluation as to whether anemia is due to loss of RBCs or inadequate production. (medscape.com)

- Reticulocyte counts and percentages are usually ordered by your doctor to determine bone marrow function or to check the effectiveness of certain treatments (vitamin B12 or folic acid deficiency, iron deficiency, kidney disease, bone marrow suppression, erythropoietin therapy). (medicover.hu)
- This can be caused by bone marrow disease, a lack or inadequate absorption of vitamin B12 and folic acid, or inadequate production of the hormone erythropoietin produced by the kidneys. (medicover.hu)
- however, in the setting of stress erythropoiesis, as in a high erythropoietin level (eg, in persons with severe anemia), reticulocytes are prematurely released from bone marrow to the blood circulation, increasing the number of days that reticulocytes stay in the blood circulation (maturation time of reticulocytes in days) and resulting in a spuriously high reticulocyte count. (medscape.com)
