Pancytopenia is a hematological condition in which there is a reduction in all three cell lines of blood. This study aims to evaluate the utility of reticulocyte indices such as reticulocyte % (retic %), immature reticulocyte fraction (IRF), and mean reticulocyte volume (MRV) in identifying the cause of pancytopenia.
