reticulocyte
C2CEFR level
95/100Rarity: very rare
TechnicalRegister
An immature red blood cell containing residual ribosomal RNA, released early from the marrow when erythropoietic demand is high.
A brisk reticulocyte response confirms that the marrow is compensating appropriately for the haemolysis.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
