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.
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?
anaemia
A Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) of 12.3% indicates the variation in size of red blood cells. A higher RDW value may suggest certain conditions like anemia or vitamin deficiencies, while a low RDW may indicate a more uniform size of red blood cells. It's important to consult a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and interpretation of the RDW value in the context of your overall health.
