  2. Reticulocytopenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reticulocytopenia

    With isolated reticulocytopenia, the main cause is Parvovirus B19 infection of reticulocytes leading to transient anemia. [2] In patients who rely on frequent red cell regeneration e.g. sickle cell disease , a reticulocytopenia can lead to a severe anemia due to the cessation in red cell production ( erythropoiesis ), referred to as aplastic ...

  3. Polychromasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polychromasia

    If a low count of reticulocytes is found, it usually indicates bone marrow stress. If a high reticulocyte count is found, it is usually linked to hemolysis, but a Coombs test may be performed in this case to rule out immune-mediated hemolysis. [4] Polychromasia can also be seen in blood smears when there is a normal reticulocyte count.

  4. Reticulocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reticulocyte

    A reticulocyte percentage that is higher than "normal" can be a sign of anemia, but this depends on the health of a person's bone marrow. Calculating the reticulocyte production index is an important step in understanding whether or not the reticulocyte count is appropriate to the situation. This is often a more important question than whether ...

    However, since its introduction to the market in 2013, the drug’s efficacy in cats has been subject to extensive study. The post Apoquel for Cats: Uses, Dosage, & Side Effects appeared first on ...

  6. Reticulocyte production index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reticulocyte_production_index

    Whereas normal reticulocytes lose their RNA within 24 hours, a severely anemic patient with a full erythropoietin response will release reticulocytes that take from 2-3 days to lose their RNA. This has the effect of raising the reticulocyte count simply because reticulocytes produced on any single day will spend more than 1 day in circulation ...

  7. Anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anemia

    * For instance, sickle cell anemia with superimposed iron deficiency; chronic gastric bleeding with B 12 and folate deficiency; and other instances of anemia with more than one cause. ** Confirm by repeating reticulocyte count: ongoing combination of low reticulocyte production index, normal MCV and hemolysis or loss may be seen in bone marrow ...

  8. Erythropoiesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythropoiesis

    a reticulocyte. (These cells still contain RNA and are also called "immature red blood cells") The cell is released from the bone marrow after Stage 7, and so in newly circulating red blood cells there are about 1% reticulocytes. After one to two days, these ultimately become "erythrocytes" or mature red blood cells.

  9. Macrocytic anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrocytic_anemia

    For non-megaloblastic macrocytic anemias, a reticulocyte count may be helpful. Non-megaloblastic macrocytic anemias with a low reticulocyte count (indicating a poor bone marrow response to the anemia) suggest liver disease (e.g., cirrhosis), hypothyroidism, toxic effects of alcohol on the bone marrow, or myelodysplasia.
