NUCLEATED RED BLOOD CELLS in DIFFERENTIAL CELL COUNT.

Resolved question:
I recently got my white blood cell diferental test done here are the results NEUTROPHILS %, AUTOMATED COUNT % 69.1
LYMPHOCYTES %, AUTOMATED COUNT 19.6
MONOS %, AUTO 9.6
EOSINOPHILS %, AUTOMATED COUNT 1.1
BASOPHILS %, AUTOMATED COUNT 0.6
RBC NUCLEATED AUTO COUNT, BLD 0.1
NEUTROPHILS, ABSOLUTE, AUTOMATED COUNT 7.2
LYMPHOCYTES, AUTOMATED COUNT 2.0
MONOCYTES, AUTOMATED COUNT 1.0
EOSINOPHILS, AUTOMATED COUNT 0 0.1
BASOPHILS, AUTOMATED COUNT 0.1

The one that has me concerned is the nucleated red blood cells. Does this look normal

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.
