RDW is elevated in accordance with variation in red cell size (anisocytosis), ie, when elevated RDW is reported on complete blood count, marked anisocytosis (increased variation in red cell size) is expected on peripheral blood smear review.
Perhaps the most important test in complete blood count is hemoglobin level. RDW is also given by the labs when requesting CBC.
