Nucleated red blood cells

These are also known as NRBC which are red blood cells who as the name implies have a nucleus (as opposed to normal mature RBCs that do not have a nucleus). Increased numbers of these less mature erythroid cells can be associated with an underlying infiltrative marrow process, leukoerythroblastic process and sometimes as a response to severe hemolysis.
