Low Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin
High Red cell distribution width.
it is in megaloblastic anaemia
iron deficiency
it is in b12 and folic acid deficiency
if rdw is high
Most often this is due to iron deficiency, but it can also occur in other red blood cell production (hematopoietic) abnormalities.
When a MCH and an RBC and WBC is low, what can cause this"
A low RDW-cv on a hematology test means that there is a very small variation in the size of your red blood cell. Low RDW means that the cells are mostly the same size, while high RDW means the sizes are different.
No, but lack of iron could cause a low MCH
What does this mean? I have a high WBC of 11.1 and MCH is 31.7
Means that the variation in the size of your red blood cell is very small. That it! Inother words, no problem!RDW refers to the variation in size if your red blood cells.A low RDW means that the cells are all roughly the same size.A high RDW means there isa high variation in the sizes of the cells and usually means a deficiency of iron and/or B12.
In medicine, RDW means red cell distribution width. A low RDW means that the erythrocytes or red blood cells are uniform in size.
what does high RDW in hematology test refer to?
