Clinical Protocol

7-Day Reticulocyte Support Plan

Nutrition for Reticulocytes (Immature RBCs). High means rapid production (blood loss/recovery); Low means marrow failure/deficiency.

Protocol Objectives
Building Blocks

Marrow needs Iron, B12, and Folate to make cells. Deficiencies cause low reticulocytes.

Protein

Structural support.

Kidney Support

Kidneys make EPO to signal marrow. Hydration helps.

Copper

Required for iron transport.
