Automated reticulocyte analysis. Clinical practice and associated new parameters.
Automated reticulocyte analysis, through continued instrument, software, and reagent developments, provides improved precision for the reticulocyte count. This rapid and simple testing assists in providing a cost effective and sensitive approach to the diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring of the anemic patient. As laboratory and clinical hematologist become familiar with the benefits and expanding clinical applications of this technology, the use of reticulocyte analysis will increase.
