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 .

The normal range for RDW lab test is 11-15%.
12.0 - 14.5
There is no specific meaning to rdw in mathematics.
nothing if the RDW and MCV are normal
what does it mean when your RDW is 11.3? I know normal is 11.5-14.5. But how much ashould I be concerned?
if rdw is high
anaemia
What does this mean? I have a high WBC of 11.1 and MCH is 31.7
In medicine, RDW means red cell distribution width. A low RDW means that the erythrocytes or red blood cells are uniform in size.
anaemia
RDW means "Red blood cell Distribution Width" that takes place with the blood. If one has a low Rdw i means they are anemic.
