About this test

Concerned about anaemia, bone marrow function, or recovery from blood disorders? This test measures reticulocytes, immature red blood cells that indicate how well your bone marrow is producing new blood cells. It's useful for diagnosing anaemia, monitoring bone marrow health, and assessing recovery after blood loss or treatment for conditions like iron deficiency or haemolytic anaemia.
