RDW Group was created in 1986.
There is no specific meaning to rdw in mathematics.
My RDW-SD was 37.80 fl
Red cell distribution wudth
nothing if the RDW and MCV are normal
The normal range for RDW lab test is 11-15%.
if rdw is high
In medicine, RDW means red cell distribution width. A low RDW means that the erythrocytes or red blood cells are uniform in size.
RDW means "Red blood cell Distribution Width" that takes place with the blood. If one has a low Rdw i means they are anemic.
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.
A red cell distribution width (RDW) of 17.5% is considered high, as normal RDW values typically range from about 11.5% to 14.5%. Elevated RDW can indicate various conditions, such as anemia or other underlying health issues. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and interpretation of RDW results in conjunction with other blood tests.
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?
