  • Title: Clinical utility of the new Sysmex XE 2100 parameter - reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent - in the diagnosis of anemia.
    Author: Canals C, Remacha AF, Sardá MP, Piazuelo JM, Royo MT, Romero MA.
    Journal: Haematologica; 2005 Aug; 90(8):1133-4. PubMed ID: 16079114.
    Abstract:
    Our aim was to establish the reference values of the new parameter reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent (RET-He) and to investigate its role in differentiating between iron deficiency anemia and anemia of chronic diseases. We found that RET-He was useful for diagnosing iron deficiency anemia. A cut-off point of 25 pg provided a specificity of 0.81 and a sensitivity of 0.76.
