Low absolute reticulocyte count. Does it mean I have bone marrow or cancer problems?
No. The reticulocyte count is 1 test in evaluation for anemia. A low count does not mean cancer. It may indicate a marrow problem, but may indicate another problem. Please consult with a hematologist if anemia is the problem.
