2. Normocytic anemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normocytic_anemia

   A reticulocyte count that is high, normal or low will aid with the classification process. A high reticulocyte count signifies that bone marrow processes are normal. A low reticulocyte count would signify there is a problem at the level of the bone marrow, which produce the stem cells. Acute blood loss would result in a high reticulocyte count ...

3. Red blood cell indices - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_blood_cell_indices

   The reticulocyte production index (RPI) or corrected reticulocyte count (CRC) represents the true significance of the absolute reticulocyte count to provide some reflection of erythropoietic demand and supply. The immature reticulocyte fraction (IRF) goes a step further to cast more light on the same question. [citation needed]

4. Hematocrit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematocrit

   A low hematocrit level is a sign of a low red blood cell count. One way to increase the ability of oxygen transport in red blood cells is through blood transfusion, which is carried out typically when the red blood cell count is low. Prior to the blood transfusion, hematocrit levels are measured to help ensure the transfusion is necessary and safe.

5. Complete blood count - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_blood_count

   A complete blood count (CBC), also known as a full blood count (FBC), is a set of medical laboratory tests that provide information about the cells in a person's blood.The CBC indicates the counts of white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets, the concentration of hemoglobin, and the hematocrit (the volume percentage of red blood cells).

6. Reference ranges for blood tests - Wikipedia

   This may also be called standard range. In contrast, optimal (health) range or therapeutic target is a reference range or limit that is based on concentrations or levels that are associated with optimal health or minimal risk of related complications and diseases. For most substances presented, the optimal levels are the ones normally found in ...

7. Reticulocyte production index - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reticulocyte_production_index

   The reticulocyte index (RI) should be between 0.5% and 2.5% for a healthy individual. [8] RI < 0.5% with anemia indicates maturation disorder, meaning loss of red blood cells, but also decreased production of reticulocytes (i.e., an inadequate response to correct the anemia) and therefore red blood cells. [2]

   The women with the highest levels of IgM anti-PC had a 73% lower risk of CVD than those in the group with the lowest levels. The reduction was most evident in the risk of ischemic heart disease ...

9. Macrocytic anemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrocytic_anemia

   Macrocytic anemia is a class of anemia characterized by the presence of predominantly larger-than-normal red blood cells (RBC, also known as erythrocytes) accompanied by low numbers of RBC and often also with insufficient hemoglobin content per cell. Macrocytic anemia occurs when – despite the larger cell size – such factors result in ...
