     Moreover, the reticulocyte count of the patients with TRJV ≥ 2.5 m/sec was not high enough to indicate the presence of hyperhemolysis given that thirty-three patients with normal TRJV were taking HU, which inhibits erythropoiesis and decreases the reticulocyte count thus maximizing the difference between the 2 groups of patients.
