Abstract

Enumeration of peripheral blood reticulocytes is an essential part ofthe diagnosis and management of anemic patients since the number of reticulocytes in the peripheral blood reflects the erythrocytic activity of the bone marrow. Reticulocyte enumeration using flow cytometric methodology is rapidly replacing the inaccurate imprecise manual counting technique used in the past. This article explores the pathophysiology of the reticulocyte the various means of counting reticulocytes and the diverse clinical applications of reticulocyte data.
