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 it mean if you have high RDW 18.0 percent and low platelets 118?
if rdw is high
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 does low RDW CV mean in a hematology test?
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.
What does a high MCH and a low RDW and a low iron saturation mean?
it is in megaloblastic anaemia
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 high hematocrit low MCV low MCH high RDW CV mean?
iron deficiency
What does a 18.8 RDW Blood Test mean -?

What does a 18.8 RDW Blood Test mean?

Low mch and high rdw?
Low Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin High Red cell distribution width.
What does it mean to have a high MCH a low RDW and low saturation on blood test?
it is in b12 and folic acid deficiency
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.
