Reticulocyte Count Test

Red blood cells (RBCs) are produced in the bone marrow and are responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. Reticulocytes are young RBCs that are still in the process of maturing. The Reticulocyte Count Test is a blood test offered by Healthcare NT Sickcare Medical Laboratory to measure the number of reticulocytes in the blood.

The Reticulocyte Count Test is useful in evaluating bone marrow function and diagnosing anaemia. If the bone marrow is not producing enough RBCs, the reticulocyte count will be low. Conversely, if the bone marrow is producing too many RBCs, the reticulocyte count will be high. Anaemia is a condition characterized by a low number of RBCs or a low amount of haemoglobin in the blood. The Reticulocyte Count Test can help diagnose anaemia and determine the underlying cause.

To perform the Reticulocyte Count Test, a small sample of blood will be collected from you. The sample will then be analysed in our state-of-the-art laboratory to measure the number of reticulocytes in the blood.

The Reticulocyte Count Test is a safe and reliable way to evaluate bone marrow function and diagnose anaemia. If you are experiencing symptoms of anaemia, such as fatigue or shortness of breath, it is important to get tested.
