The "width" in RDW is sometimes thought to be "misleading", since it in fact is a measure of deviation of the volume of RBCs, and not directly the diameter. RDW-CV "width" refers to the width of the volume curve (distribution width), not the width of the cells.
Rouleaux formation on wet smear. Rouleaux (singular is rouleau) are stacks or aggregations of red blood cells (RBCs) that form because of the unique discoid shape of the cells in vertebrates.
Anisocytosis is a medical term meaning that a patient's red blood cells are of unequal size. This is commonly found in anemia and other blood conditions. False diagnostic flagging may be triggered on a complete blood count by an elevated WBC count, agglutinated RBCs, RBC fragments, giant platelets or platelet clumps due to anisocytosis.
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
Hereditary elliptocytosis, also known as ovalocytosis, is an inherited blood disorder in which an abnormally large number of the person's red blood cells are elliptical rather than the typical biconcave disc shape.
In January, Space infrastructure specialist Redwire (NYSE: RDW) announced a transformational deal and inked a high-profile partnership. Investors were excited, sending Redwire shares up 45.3% for ...
How we define whether a heart rate is normal or dangerous depends largely on your own average beats per minute. Meet the Experts: Ronald Freudenberger, M.D., ...
Red blood cell distribution width (RDW): Increased (normal range: 11–15%). The spherocytes create variation in the size of the red blood cells on average, thus expanding the distribution. Red blood cell count (RBC): Sometimes increased early (normal range males: 4.3–5.9 million/mm 3; normal range females: 3.5–5.5 million/mm 3). The loss ...
