Measures reticulocyte count and antibodies, markers of how actively your bone marrow is producing red blood cells. Used to help assess anaemia or monitor recovery from blood loss.
2 biomarkers as listed by Medichecks.
Reticulocytes are immature red blood cells, and counting them shows how actively your bone marrow is producing new blood cells. This test is commonly used to help assess anaemia, monitor bone marrow function, and track recovery after blood loss or treatment for conditions such as iron-deficiency anaemia.
There isn't a directly comparable group of reticulocyte tests tracked on the site for this listing, but among similarly sized tests in this part of our catalogue, £49 is well below the typical cost. The main constraint on convenience is that there's no at-home finger-prick option: you need a venous draw at a clinic or a home nurse visit.
The test scores well for clinical depth relative to similarly sized tests, and for value given its price. It scores lower for collection convenience because of the clinic-based venous draw, though a home nurse visit is offered as an alternative to travelling in. As with all Medichecks tests, results come with a doctor's comment.
This is a sensible choice if a clinician has suggested monitoring your bone marrow's red blood cell production, for example during recovery from anaemia, blood loss or related treatment, and you're comfortable arranging a clinic visit or home nurse appointment rather than self-collecting.
The sheet doesn't identify a directly comparable reticulocyte test from another provider, so there isn't a specific cheaper or deeper alternative to point to here.
This is a blood test collected via a venous draw at a Medichecks clinic, or you can arrange a home nurse visit; there's no at-home finger-prick option for this test. Once the sample reaches the lab, it's processed by one of Medichecks' partner labs. Turnaround is around 3 days, and a doctor reviews your result before you receive it.
Two markers, reticulocyte count and reticulocyte antibodies, are covered here for £49, well below the typical cost of similarly sized tests we track. There's no home collection option: you'll need a clinic or nurse-visit venous draw.
