Corrected
reticulocyte count = (reticulocyte% x patient's HCT)/normal HCT.
And, in spite of anemia, the
reticulocyte count did not respond to the stimuli; it was very low during this treatment in this case (Figure 4).
Absolute
reticulocyte count =
Reticulocyte count (%) x RBC count.
Lower vitamin D levels were associated with lower hemoglobin and hematocrit but with higher
reticulocyte counts, AST, LDH, and total and indirect serum bilirubin levels.
Reticulocyte count, serum iron levels, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), serum ferritin, vitamin B 12 levels, RBC folate levels were recorded.
Secondly, within one week of therapy there is no significant increase of Hb compared to baseline values whereas absolute
reticulocyte count increased significantly in the same period.
Key secondary endpoints include transfusion avoidance during the 16-week randomized controlled period, as well as week 16 changes from baseline in
reticulocyte count, lactate dehydrogenase levels and FACIT-Fatigue scale score.
A corresponding decrease in absolute
reticulocyte count and the percentage of reticulocytes, with a trend towards improved pain as measured by ASCQ-Me, was also observed at 13 weeks in Population A.
The parameters evaluated included haemoglobin,
reticulocyte count, total leucocyte count (TLC), and peripheral blood smear (PBS).
The patient's hemoglobin level rose to 10.6 g/dL and
reticulocyte count to 3% over 10 days; no blood transfusion was required.
The Bayer Diagnostics hematology analyzer used in the study reports CHr as part of the
reticulocyte count. Dr.
