The formula to calculate Reticulocyte Count (Rect) is:
\[ \text{Rect} = \%R \left( \frac{\text{HctP}}{\text{HctN}} \right) \]
Where:
Reticulocyte Count is a part of the complete blood count and the measurement depends on the quantity and size of the red blood cells.
Reticulocytes define the percentage of reticulocytes in RBC (red blood cells).
Hematocrit (Patient) test measures the percentage of RBCs in the blood.
Hematocrit (Normal) value ranges between 37-52% part of the blood.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{Rect} = \%R \left( \frac{\text{HctP}}{\text{HctN}} \right) \]
Evaluating:
\[ \text{Rect} = 1.5 \left( \frac{40}{45} \right) \]
The Reticulocyte Count is 1.3333.
