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) 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].
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.
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.
The “normal” range should reflect the “reference” of 95% of the animals. Most automated hematology analyzers have pre-set reference ranges based on literature references or clinical studies. However, it is recommended that each clinic establishes its own reference ranges.
RDW = Red cell distribution width Reference values were established using adult animals (> 1 year). MPV = Mean platelet volume Foal reference values were established using animals < 24 hours old.
1 paź 2016 · 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,...
