Influence of in vitro hemolysis on nucleated red blood cells and reticulocyte counts

Nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs) and reticulocytes are early and important measures of red blood cells’ (RBCs) turnover, but little is known on how spurious hemolysis may affect the reliability of these parameters.
