Question

Describe the clinical significance of reticulocytes count

Expert Solution

Step 1

Reticulocytes are the immature erythroid cells that are in their final stages of maturation. They are produced in the bone marrow and then released into the peripheral blood for further maturation into erythrocytes. The reticulocytes lack nucleus but some amount of extranuclear RNA (ribonucleic acid) is present in the cytoplasm. These remaining RNA molecules are lost during the 24-hours circulation in the bloodstream.
