The test is also commonly ordered as a hemolytic anemia battery, which also includes a reticulocyte count and a peripheral blood smear.
22.
Lack of either causes maturation failure in the process of erythropoiesis, which manifests clinically as reticulocytopenia, an abnormally low amount of reticulocytes.
23.
Reticulocytes are less efficient at carrying oxygen as mature red cells, and they are less deformable, causing impaired transit through capillary beds.
24.
The nucleus is expelled during the process of differentiation from an erythroblast to a reticulocyte, which is the immediate precursor of the mature erythrocyte.
25.
Primary treatment for patients with symptomatic HS has been total splenectomy, which eliminates the hemolytic process, allowing normal hemoglobin, reticulocyte and bilirubin levels.
26.
The cell is released from the bone marrow after Stage 7, and so in newly circulating red blood cells there are about 1 % reticulocytes.
27.
"' Reticulocytes "'are immature red blood cells, typically composing about 1 % of the red blood cells in the human body.
28.
The "'Sysmex XE-2100 "'is a haematology automated analyser, used to quickly perform full blood counts and reticulocyte counts.
29.
It increases the erythrocyte production ( reticulocytosis ) because reticulocytes are immature red blood cells that still contain mitochondria and so can produce ATP via oxidative phosphorylation.
30.
Reticulocyte counts are performed as part of a full blood count, in order to learn the rate at which new red blood cells are being produced.
