Abstract:
Healthy reference ranges for the total peripheral reticulocyte count and its three subpopulations, LFR (low fluorescence ratio), MFR (middle fluorescence ratio) and HFR (high fluorescence ratio) were established on 1219 healthy subjects. Samples were taken from subjects of both sexes with ages ranging from 4 to over 60 years. The observed ranges were found to be different between males and females for the group over 20 years old, while there was no difference between sexes found at the age between 4 and 19 years.
