How to Evaluate Reticulocyte Count?

Reticulocyte Count evaluator uses Reticulocyte Count = Reticulocytes*(Hematocrit(Patient)/Hematocrit(Normal)) to evaluate the Reticulocyte Count, Reticulocyte Count is also known as corrected Reticulocyte count as the Reticulocyte% is corrected with respect to the hematocrit of the patient. Reticulocyte Count is denoted by Rect symbol.
