What studies found when this marker was changed
They describe what happened in those study groups, not a recommendation. See all catalogued interventions.
Measured changes in Reticulocyte Percentage, study by study
3 effects with a numeric size, each from one study arm: the dot is the reported change, the line its 95% interval where one was given. Study results in the groups studied, not predictions for a person.
| Type | Intervention | Reported effect | Evidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| clinical | Total splenectomy (vs partial) in children with hereditary spherocytosis; change at 1 year | Reticulocytes reduced by 12.5 percentage points after total splenectomy vs 6.5 after partial splenectomy at 1 year; hemoglobin +3.6 vs +2.2 g/dL | meta-analysis | Guizzetti L. Pediatr Blood Cancer. 2016. Total versus partial splenectomy in… |
| clinical | Total or partial splenectomy in sickle cell disease patients (18 studies, 756 patients) | Both total and partial splenectomy decreased reticulocytes by 2% (0.8-3.2%); hemoglobin unchanged | meta-analysis | Roshdy MR, et al. J Pediatr Surg. 2025. Partial Splenectomy Versus Total… |
| supplement | Vitamin E supplementation in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (6 studies) | Reticulocytes -1.42% vs control in acute hemolysis (-1.39 in chronic hemolysis; -1.41% in before/after studies); hemoglobin +1.18 to +2.72 g/dL | meta-analysis | Abdelwahab OA, et al. Medicine (Baltimore). 2023. The potential role of vitamin… |
