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?
Do your own search. Hah take that. Now you are just reading and wasting your time and you couldn't do anything about it. :)
High RDW-SD (Red Cell Distribution Width - Standard Deviation) in a hematology test indicates increased variability in the size of red blood cells. This can suggest the presence of certain conditions, such as anemia, nutritional deficiencies, or bone marrow disorders. Elevated RDW-SD may warrant further investigation to determine the underlying cause and guide appropriate treatment.
An RDW-CV (Red Cell Distribution Width - Coefficient of Variation) of 15.6% indicates a higher variation in the size of red blood cells (RBCs) in the blood. Normally, RDW-CV values range from about 11.5% to 14.5%, so a value of 15.6% suggests anisocytosis, which can be associated with various conditions such as anemia, nutritional deficiencies, or chronic diseases. It's important to interpret this result in conjunction with other blood test parameters and clinical findings for a comprehensive assessment. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized interpretation.
My RDW-SD was 37.80 fl

There is no specific meaning to rdw in mathematics.

if rdw is high
Only one thing: certain death.
anaemia
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.
RDW stands for Red Cell Distribution Width, a measurement included in a Complete Blood Count (CBC) that indicates the variation in size of red blood cells (erythrocytes). A higher RDW value may suggest conditions such as anemia or other blood disorders, while a normal RDW can indicate a stable population of red blood cells. It is often used alongside other parameters in the CBC to provide a more comprehensive view of a patient's hematologic health.
