15 paź 2024 · In the group with hypothyroidism, increased RDW values were observed in 7 dogs (range: 14.4% to 16.8%), and of these, only 2 dogs had mild non-regenerative, microcytic, normochromic and moderate, normocytic, hyperchromic anemia, respectively.
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).
In humans, increased red blood cell distribution width (RDW) values are associated with higher morbidity and mortality in a variety of pathological processes. The main objective of this study was to evaluate RDW in dogs with a diverse range of pathologies.
Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a quantitative measurement of anisocytosis. This hematological parameter is an important prognostic biomarker for different cardiovascular disorders in humans but its influence on survival has been poorly investigated in dogs with cardiovascular disease.
Red Blood Cell Distribution Width (RDW): Relation with Veterinary Diseases. Several studies have shown that elevated RDW could be useful in the differential diagnosis of the nature of a benign or malignant breast tumor, being significantly higher in the group of breast can- cer patients (Figure 3).
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.
25 sie 2021 · Forest plot showing the association between RBC distribution width (RDW) and all-cause in-hospital mortality in critically ill dogs (A) and cats (B). Sets of horizontal bars show the odds of in-hospital mortality comparing animals in each RDW quintile to animals in the first RDW quintile.
