C. In patients with haemolytic anaemia.
In haemolytic anemia, the increased destruction of red blood cells stimulates the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells to compensate for the loss. This often results in an elevated reticulocyte count as the marrow responds to the increased need for red blood cells.
