Reticulocyte Absolute Cell Count

Hi:
Another question:

Nina's Absolute Retic count is 141,000. Normal range is 23,000-92,000 (according to the report)

What is a Retic Count?
What is the significance of a HIGH count??

Thanks!
Debbie

The high count of reticoluzytes could be a consequenze of high erytropoiesis.
It could be that the erytrocytes are very smal. To garant a well oxygen transport sometimes the body try to produce more of the needed cells. A lot of thals shows high reti's

Okay. Thank you for your input!
