The detection of NRBCs in a patient's blood can provide crucial insights into their health status. For instance, a high NRBC count can be a marker of bone marrow stress or severe systemic illnesses. In neonates, especially preterm infants, the presence of NRBCs can indicate intrauterine hypoxia or other perinatal conditions. Therefore, NRBC counts are often included in complete blood count (CBC) tests to aid in diagnosis and treatment planning.
