A member asked:

I got my blood test results back. very concerned that my nucleated rbc was 0.2 and my nucleated rbc abs was high at 0.01. everything i'm reading says no one other than newborns (and only for up to 5 days) should have any nucleated rbc's. please help!

Any symptoms?: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, 0.2 is not meaningfully different from zero. The result would fall within the margin of error for the test. If you do not have any symptoms, do not be concerned. You may repeat the cell count next time you need a blood test for some other reason.
