In this webinar, we will review the function of the reticulocyte count in the diagnosis and classification of anemia. 

Learning Objectives:

• Discuss why the reticulocyte count is the only way to accurately classify anemia, while MCV, MCHC and RDW parameters are often used instead.
• Review actual clinical cases and discuss how the reticulocyte count play an instrumental role in the final diagnosis.
