Reticulocyte Hemoglobin Equivalent: Insights Into Red Blood Cell Production And Anemia Diagnosis
Reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent, also known as reticulocyte hemoglobin content (CHr), provides insights into hemoglobin synthesis and red blood cell production. It represents the amount of hemoglobin within immature red blood cells (reticulocytes), reflecting the activity of erythropoiesis. CHr is influenced by factors such as iron availability, erythropoietin levels, and red blood cell lifespan. Evaluating CHr…
