ABSTRACT

The historical background of reticulocyte count is reviewed as an essential determination in the laboratory of hematology for the evaluation of erythropoietic activity during classification, diagnosis and monitoring of therapeutic response of different conditions and clinical situations are also reviewed, especially in anemia The transition from traditional manual reticulocyte counting method to automated method and integration of the reticulocyte parameters to current automated complete blood count are described. The disadvantages of manual method and the advantages of automated methods are cited, as well as detection principles in which electronic reticulocyte count is based. Regarding reticulocyte parameters, measurement, calculation and units are described. The importance of immature reticulocyte fraction and reticulocyte hemoglobin content as variables most clinical and research use in evaluating bone marrow response to various clinical disorders and therapeutic protocols are highlighted. Finally, the need for knowledge and use of reticulocyte variables in routine clinical practice by clinicians and hematologist is referred.
