15 paź 2024 · In the group with HVA, 6 dogs had RDW values above the reference interval (range: 14.8% to 15.7%), and of these, only 2 dogs had evidence of mild non-regenerative anemia, 1 of them being normocytic, normochromic, and the other microcytic and normochromic.
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).
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).
Reference intervals for RDW, hematocrit, and serum urea and creatinine concentrations, in the laboratory where the analyses were performed, were 11.9 to 14.5%, 38 to 57%, 20 to 50 mg/dL, and 0.5 to 1.5 mg/dL, respectively. Dogs were considered anemic when hematocrit was 37%.
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 ...
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).
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%.
