Percentages of Myeloid and Erythroid Precursors

The normal cellularity has been described as 50%. Therefore, about 40% of the cells would be myeloid (granulocytic) and 10% erythroid. Since cellularity and distribution may vary from one area of the marrow to another, an acceptable range for percentages of myeloid and erythroid cells would be:

  • Myeloid cells 25-55%
  • Erythroid cells 8-14%
