Biomarkers

nRBC

Explanation

Nucleated red blood cells (nRBCs) are premature red blood cells found in the bone marrow. nRBCs are normally not present in the blood of healthy individuals. (source)

Low

Generally, low levels of nRBCs are considered a marker of good health in adults.

Optimization

Low nRBC count usually does not require any specific treatment unless it is associated with a specific illness. There is no suggested nutritional, lifestyle, or supplement-based intervention.

High

nRBCs are often used as a tool for clinical diagnosis. Elevated levels could suggest complications in blood physiology or blood loss. (source)

Optimization

Monitor signs of inflammation and consult a primary care provider.
