8 mar 2023 · Red blood cell distribution width and RDW/Ca were significantly increased in 19 (28.1%) non-surviving dogs compared with 51 (71.9%) surviving dogs, and an RDW of >12.7% had good accuracy in predicting short-term death (i.e., dead within 14 days of admission).
15 paź 2024 · In the group with MMVD, 4 dogs with MMVD B2 and 1 dog with MMVD C had increased RDW (range: 14.5% to 16.3%), with mild anemia (normocytic, normochromic) identified in only one of them. Notably, this animal had no additional comorbidities at the time of diagnosis.
Studies such as Neiger et al. (2002) in normal dogs with regenerative anemia and not based on the parameter of regenerative RDW found the values of 15.6 ± 1.35 for normal dogs, 15.3 ± 3.93 for regenerative anemia and 16.2 ± 2, 78 for dogs with non-regenerative anemia.
Results: Median RDW in dogs with precapillary PH (13.8%, interquartile range 13.2–14.9%) and postcapillary PH (13.7, 13.2–14.7%) was significantly increased compared to healthy dogs (13.3, 12.3–13.7%; P < .05 for both comparisons), but only dogs with severe PH had significantly increased RDW compared to dogs without PH (P < .05).
17 paź 2016 · RDW. In healthy dogs, the median (interquartile range) RDW was 13.3% (12.3–13.7%). Seven of 50 (14%) dogs with MMVD, 9 of 32 (28.1%) dogs with PH-MMVD, and 8 of 26 (30.8%) dogs with precapillary PH had RDW greater than the upper reference limit of 14.5%.
Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a calculated, simple and cheap parameter that reflects the degree of heterogeneity of the volume of RBCs (Red blood cells), known as anisocytosis, con- tained in a sample, and is traditionally used in haematology for the differential diagnosis of anaemias [1].
Simple Summary: Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a laboratory parameter that is au-tomatically calculated by most hematology analyzers and reflects the degree of variation in the erythrocyte size.
