Hello,
I have gone through all your values, and everything is normal.
Nucleated RBCs are normal cells which are in the process of maturation to fully functional status. They are absolutely normal and may be present in blood picture in very minimal quantities. Sometimes after an episode of bleeding, there can be an increase in the number of nucleated RBCs to compensate for the loss. But this process is normal.
Hope your concern is addressed.
Feel free to discuss further,
Regards.
