The correlation of different technique
The Importance of NRBC measurement
- To monitor bone marrow activity
(the same as reticulocyte)
- To accurately count the number of
white blood cell which is important
in the monitor of drug toxicity in
splenectomized thalassemia subjects
(such as deferriprone, hydroxyurea)
