A member asked:

Nrbc levels in recent blood test at 10/100 wbc. follow up with doc is later this week. should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: Nucleated red cells in blood indicate vigorous red cell production, if this is the only finding on testing. If you had recent blood loss or started taking medication for anaemia, it would be a good sign. If NRBC are part of other changes in blood then it would need to be investigated.
