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?
nothing if the RDW and MCV are normal
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.
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.
A high Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) indicates a variation in the size of red blood cells, which can suggest conditions like anemia or nutritional deficiencies. A high Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) reflects larger platelets, often associated with increased platelet production or activation. Together, elevated RDW and MPV may indicate underlying issues such as inflammation, bone marrow disorders, or specific types of anemia, warranting further investigation by a healthcare provider.
There is no specific meaning to rdw in mathematics.
nothing if the RDW and MCV are normal
if rdw is high
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.
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.
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.
RDW-CV stands for Red Cell Distribution Width - Cell Volume. It means that the red blood cells vary a lot in size.
RDW Group was created in 1986.
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.
