Definisi & Makna dari "reticulocyte

What is a "reticulocyte"?

A reticulocyte is an immature red blood cell that contains remnants of ribosomal RNA. It is released into the bloodstream from the bone marrow and eventually matures into a fully functional red blood cell. Reticulocyte counts are often used to assess the rate of red blood cell production and can provide insights into various hematological conditions, such as anemia and bone marrow disorders.
