High RDW may be a result of the presence of fragments, groups of agglutination, and/or abnormal shape of red blood cells. [7] Iron-deficiency anemia usually presents with high RDW and low MCV. Folate and vitamin B 12 deficiency anemia usually presents with high RDW and high MCV.
Red blood cell distribution width (RDW or RDW-CV or RCDW and RDW-SD) is a measure of the range of variation of red blood cell (RBC) volume, yielding clues about morphology. [ citation needed ] Erythropoietic precursor indices
A sphygmomanometer (/ ˌ s f ɪ ɡ m oʊ m ə ˈ n ɒ m ɪ t ə r / SFIG-moh-mə-NO-mi-tər), also known as a blood pressure monitor, or blood pressure gauge, is a device used to measure blood pressure, composed of an inflatable cuff to collapse and then release the artery under the cuff in a controlled manner, [1] and a mercury or aneroid manometer to measure the pressure.

Microscopic viewing of the red blood cells will reveal marked unequal cell size and abnormal cell shape. Basophilic stippling is marked and target cells are common. The mean cell volume is commonly decreased (i.e., a microcytic anemia), but it may also be normal or even high. The RDW is increased with the red blood cell histogram shifted to the ...
RDW, or rdw, may refer to: RDW (Dienst Wegverkeer), the organization that administers vehicle registration and driving licences in the Netherlands; Red blood cell distribution width, a parameter reported in blood tests; Reading West railway station (National Rail code), Berkshire, UK; Red Wing station (Amtrak code), Minnesota, US
Pulse pressure is calculated as the difference between the systolic blood pressure and the diastolic blood pressure. [3] [4]The systemic pulse pressure is approximately proportional to stroke volume, or the amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle during systole (pump action) and inversely proportional to the compliance (similar to elasticity) of the aorta.
