Common "Immature Rbc" queries answered by top doctors | iCliniq

Immature Rbc

Immature red blood cells or reticulocytes are the developing red blood cells produced in the bone marrow and released into the bloodstream. Then, after two days, they turn into fully mature red blood cells. The number of reticulocytes in the blood is a determining factor in diagnosing severe health issues. For example, an increased number of immature RBCs in the blood implies hemolytic anemia of the newborn and adult. In contrast, decreased count suggests iron-deficiency anemia, pernicious anemia, aplastic anemia, liver cirrhosis and scarring, kidney disorder, and bone marrow failure.
