an excess of reticulocytes in the peripheral blood.

re·tic·u·lo·cy·to·sis

(re-tik'yū-lō-sī-tō'sis),
An increase in the number of circulating reticulocytes above the normal, which is less than 1% of the total number of red blood cells; it occurs during active blood regeneration (stimulation of red bone marrow) and in certain anemias, especially congenital hemolytic anemia.

reticulocytosis

[-sītō′sis]
an increase over the reference interval upper limit of 2.0% in the number of reticulocytes in the circulating blood that may represent a normal increase in activity of the bone marrow in response to blood loss.

reticulocytosis

A greater than normal proportion of RETICULOCYTES in the blood. This indicates an increased rate of red cell formation, as during the treatment of ANAEMIA or following HAEMORRHAGE.

reticulocytosis

an excess of reticulocytes in the peripheral blood. See also reticulocyte response.
