Micro* (#, %) parameters point to number & % of microcytic (small) RBCs while Macro* (#, %) parameters
reflect the number & % of macrocytic (large) RBCs. MRV* parameter represents the mean volume of
reticulocyte while RHE* parameter indicates the hemoglobin content for reticulocytes.
These parameters provide clues and more clinical information on anemia type, especially while
differentiating iron deficiency from other causes of anemia.
RBC analysis with SF Cube technology helps
differentiation of Reticulocytes from mature red cells
by their reaction with fluorescent stain. Besides the
conventional parameters such as RET# and RET%,
BC-6800 also provides additional data concerning
immature reticulocytes (IRF), which assists in early
diagnosis of anemia and monitoring the bone
marrow response to hematinic therapy.
