Reticulocyte are the immature stage of the erythrocytes and are produced in the red bone marrow. About 1% of red cells are reticulocytes and they are called that because they exhibit a reticular network of RNA when coloured and looked at through a microscope.

What does reticulocyte mean?

A reticulocyte is an immature red blood cell that still contains residual ribosomal RNA. It is an indicator of bone marrow activity and can be used to evaluate the production of red blood cells in the body. Reticulocyte counts are often used to diagnose and monitor conditions such as anemia.


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 a normal Reticulocyte Count in sickle cell patients?

In sickle cell patients, a normal reticulocyte count is typically elevated due to the body's response to chronic hemolysis. The normal range for reticulocyte count in sickle cell patients is usually higher than in individuals without the disease, often ranging from 3% to 6%.
