Well to all the people who are interested:
These are hematological parameters that indicate an underlying anemic condition.
The normal RBC is spherical and biconcave with a diameter of 6-8 micrometer. any variation in size is termed as anisocytosis and in shape is termed as poilikocytosis. These variations are seen in anemic conditions like iron or folate or Vitamin B12 deficiency or others.
Earlier when blood samples were analyzed manually under microscope the terms aniso and poikilocytosis were used, when such variations were observed, but with the advent of computerized automated blood analysis methods newer terms like RDW, RDW-SD, RDW-CV have come into place, these terms also indicate unusual variations in the size and shape of RBC which are highly indicative of a possible Anemic conditions.
RDW stands for Red Cell Distribution Width
RDW- SD stands for Standard Deviation in RDW
RDW-CV stands for Coefficient Variation of RDW
These are technical terms used in computer interpretation of the given blood samples
If your reports show abnormal values do consult your physician .

What does Low RDW-sd mean in a hematology test mean?
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.

low in B12 or iron
