What is B-RDW?
B-RDW (Red cell distribution width) is a marker used to measure the size variation of red blood cells (erythrocytes). It is an important biomarker in the investigation of anemia and can provide information about abnormalities in blood formation. By analyzing the size distribution of erythrocytes, conditions in which red blood cells exhibit increased size variation, also known as anisocytosis, can be identified.
Why analyze B-RDW?
B-RDW is used to assess variations in the size of erythrocytes and can, together with other erythrocyte indices, such as B-MCV, Erc(B)-MCH, and EPK Erythrocytes
