Why reticulocyte parameters count
Reticulocytes act as an early warning system that detects a variety of issues earlier
Newly released reticulocytes reflect the current condition of the animal, making them excellent early indicators for conditions such as blood loss or inflammation before development of anemia. Early detection provides the best chance for determining and treating the underlying cause, earlier, for better patient outcomes.
