What does high red cell size distribution mean?

High red cell distribution is detected from a red cell distribution width laboratory test. It is one of the primary causes of anemia.


Low mch and high rdw?

Low Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin High Red cell distribution width.


RDW-CV was high - what does this mean?

RDW-CV stands for Red Cell Distribution Width - Cell Volume. It means that the red blood cells vary a lot in size.


What does the medical abbreviation RDW mean?

Red Cell Distribution WidthRDW = Red cell Distribution Width. A measure in variation of the sizes of the Erythocytes (red blood cells)RDW stands for red cell distribution width. It is a measure of the variability of the size (volume) of red cells. Red cells of uniform size--no matter what that size is--will have a low RDW. A population of cells which vary greatly in size will have a high RDW. Another name for variability in red cell size is anisocytosis. In both thallasemia and iron deficiency anemia, the average cell size (measured as MCV, mean corpuscular volume) is low. But in iron deficiency anemia, unlike thallasemia, the RDW is increased.Red Cell Distribution Width in PercentageRed-Blood Cell Distribution Width

What does the medical abbreviation RDWCV mean?

Red cell distribution width (RDW) and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) to help determine the causes of anemia.


What does low RDW mean?

In medicine, RDW means red cell distribution width. A low RDW means that the erythrocytes or red blood cells are uniform in size.


What is RDW mean is a blood panel lab results mean?

If the RDW level is increased and the MCV level is normal. This can be caused by the beginning stages of a decrease in vitamin B12 or folic acid (a type of vitamin) in the body. It can also be caused by the beginning stages of iron deficiency anemia.

What does high wbc and high absolute neutrophils and high rdw mean?

High white blood count could be caused by an infection, inflammation, allergies, asthma, leukemia, severe stress, or tissue death. High absolute neutrophilis could be caused by an acute bacterial infection, inflammation, stress, inflammation, and certain leukemia's. High red cell distribution width could be caused by mixed rbc's.


What does the medical abbreviation low rdw mean?

RDW means "Red blood cell Distribution Width" that takes place with the blood. If one has a low Rdw i means they are anemic.


Recently had a blood test and was advices my rdw rbc auto rto was high 15.2 mean?

RDW (Red blood cell Distribution Width) - Describes how much your red blood cells differ in size from one another. The lower the number, the more uniform in size. A RDW under 15.0% is considered "normal". A RDW of 15.2% is not significantly high and shouldn't be cause for concern.
