Nucleated RBC %

Elevated levels of Nucleated Red Blood Cells (NRBC%) might mean that your body is making more red blood cells than usual. This can happen for various reasons, such as your body trying to compensate for low oxygen levels, reacting to certain medications like erythropoietin, or due to conditions affecting the bone marrow's ability to create mature red blood cells, like bone marrow disorders or certain types of anemia. It's also possible that a higher percentage of these young cells are being released into your bloodstream too early, which can occur when your body is under a lot of stress or dealing with nutritional deficiencies, like a lack of vitamin B12 or folic acid.

Symptoms of high levels of Nucleated RBC % could include fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness, or a pale complexion.

A low Nucleated RBC % might mean that your body isn't making enough new red blood cells. This can happen for various reasons, such as not getting enough iron, vitamin B12, or folate in your diet. It could also be due to long-lasting health problems that make it harder for your body to create new cells, or it might be a side effect of certain medications like chemotherapy drugs or some antibiotics. In some cases, it could also point to issues with your bone marrow, which is where these cells are made.

Symptoms of low levels of Nucleated RBC % could include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, and dizziness.
