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 actual measurement is of the volume or size of your pet’s red blood cells or its MCV. A high RDW means that there is too much variation in the size of your pet’s red blood cells. Knowing that is occurring gives your veterinarian hints as to the possible cause of a confirmed anemia.
Your Dog And Cat’s Normal Test Reference Values. Deciding what “normal” test results are for your dog and cat is not always easy. Just as in healthy people, no two pets have exactly the same normal baseline values. So, what might be “normal” in one pet might be slightly abnormal in another.
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.
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 ...
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.
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).
