This is a blood test that counts reticulocytes, the young red blood cells recently released from the bone marrow, using an automated instrument that also reports extra details such as how much hemoglobin the young cells contain. It helps show how actively the bone marrow is producing new red blood cells, which is useful in evaluating anemia or monitoring recovery after treatment.
