It indicates mainly a underlying anemia due to blood loss or hemolysis and so the bone marrow is compensating for that by producing more red cells

What does a reticulocyte have to do to become an erythrocyte?

A reticulocyte needs to mature by shedding its ribosomes and becoming a fully developed erythrocyte in order to function as an oxygen-carrying red blood cell. This process takes about 1-2 days in the bone marrow before the reticulocyte is released into the bloodstream as a mature red blood cell.


What is the long term effect of athletic training on RBC count?

The more we use our skeletal muscles, the more oxygen they need. This causes an increase in rbc count because rbcs carry the oxygen. If an athlete trains at high altitude, the rbc count will increase even more because the body compensates for the lower oxygen level at high altitude by increasing rbc count even more. This is sometimes referred to as 'packing'.


What are the other use of rbc?

Platelet count and sperm count


What if RBC 20-40 H?

If RBC (red blood cell) count is between 20-40 H (high), it typically indicates a condition called erythrocytosis, which can result from factors such as dehydration, living at high altitudes, or certain medical conditions. Elevated RBC levels may lead to increased blood viscosity, raising the risk of complications like thrombosis. It's essential to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and appropriate management.
