The 3 tests in this panel

What each one measures and the range labs usually print for adults. Ranges differ a little between labs, so the range on your own report is the one your result is judged against.

  • Reticulocyte Count (Percent)

    The share of your red blood cells that are brand new. It shows how actively your bone marrow is making red cells.

    18+
    0.6–2.71 %

  • Reticulocyte Count (Absolute)

    The number of reticulocytes (very young red blood cells) in a set amount of blood. It shows how many new red cells your bone marrow is releasing.

    18+
    30.4–110.9 ×10³/µL

  • Reticulocyte Hemoglobin Content (CHr / Ret-He)

    How much hemoglobin is in your newest red blood cells, in picograms (pg). It reflects the iron available to your bone marrow over the last few days.

    18+
    30–37.6 pg
