Medical - Medical (general)
German term or phrase: Retis%?
Faxed lab report is hard to decipher.
In a line of laboratory values which includes lycocytes, Hb, HKT etc, last entry looks like Retis% with another character or two after that - any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

• Vitalfärbung: 4 Tropfen Farbe + 50 µl Blut -> 5 min. inkubieren
• 1000 Erys zählen -> Anteil der Retis in %o
• Ery gesamt / 100 x Reti % = Reti absolut

agree  Anne Schulz: The "other character after that" being a small o, I suppose, as reticulocyte count is specified in per mille. (Sorry, Georg, I know you have it in your explanatory text - just wanted to make sure as it is not in the answer line!)
