Reticulocyte Count

Blood test that measures the percentage of newly made red blood cells. Anemia (having too few red blood cells) is often a concern with newborns,especially premature infants. The reticulocyte count measures the baby's ability to make new red blood cells to replace those lost through laboratory sampling, bleeding, or normal cell turnover.
