The use of immature reticulocyte fraction as a tool for classification of Anemia / Bakhtiar Zamili Sazali

Anemia is a blood disorder and the major source of morbidity which is related to impaired oxygen delivery, decrease exercise tolerance and reduce the quality of life in older adults. It can be characterized based on the routine hematological parameter from full blood count test followed by different...
