15 paź 2024 · Significantly higher RDW values were found in dogs with primary immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (P < 0.0001), immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (P < 0.0004), hyperadrenocorticism (P < 0.0001), hypothyroidism (P = 0.0220), hepatic vascular anomaly (P < 0.0001), pneumonia (P < 0.0001), chronic kidney disease (P = 0.0005), multi-centric lymphoma (P...
Hematology (Complete Blood Count) Reference Ranges. Data on various species compiled and adapted in part from multiple sources, including Latimer KS, Duncan & Prasse’s Veterinary Laboratory Medicine: Clinical Pathology, 5th ed., Wiley-Blackwell, 2011; and Weiss DJ, Wardrop KJ, Schalm’s Veterinary Hematology, 6th ed., Wiley-Blackwell, 2010.
The values of RDW and MCV presented in Table 1 show that the value of MCV 69.19 ± 4.28 is similar as 68.8 ± 3.07, found by Neiger et al. (2002). The mean value of RDW (16.44 ± 1.41) is lower than of 17.5% like observed by Yilmaz et al. (2008) but it is within the values considered normal for dogs--14 to 19%--(Dunn, 2008; The Pet Center, 2008).
Significantly higher RDW values were found in dogs with primary immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (P < 0.0001), immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (P < 0.0004), hyperadrenocorticism (P < 0.0001), hypothyroidism (P = 0.0220), hepatic vascular anomaly (P < 0.0001), pneumonia (P < 0.0001), chronic kidney disease (P = 0.0005), multi-centric lymphoma ...
Dogs with RDW in the second (RDW = 13.6–14.4%) and third tercile (RDW > 14.4%) had significantly lower survival time and higher risk of death (HR = 2.09 and 2.5, 95% CI = 1.25–3.50 and 1.47–4.23; p = 0.005 and p < 0.001, respectively) when compared to dogs with RDW in the first tercile (RDW < 13.6%).
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).
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).
