Details

This test measures the number of young red blood cells, called reticulocytes, in your blood. It helps doctors understand if your body is making enough new red blood cells, which is important for diagnosing conditions like anemia. A high count can indicate blood loss or destruction, while a low count may suggest bone marrow problems.
