A 46-year-old patient underwent surgery with severe postoperative
bleeding that resulted in anemia. Subsequently, during recovery, increased and
accelerated erythropoiesis occurs in the bone marrow. A larger amount of
immature forms of red blood cells - so-called reticulocytes - can be released
into the blood. What will be the amount of reticulocytes in the blood after
restoring the physiological blood count?
