RDW BLOOD TEST. The red blood cell distribution width (âRDWâ) test is normally done when the complete blood count is ordered by the health practitioner. The RDW test measures the variations in size of red blood cells. It is used with the MCV (mean corpuscular volume) test results to better determine types of anemia. Normally red blood cells are between six to eight micrometers in diameter (a micrometer is one millionth of a meter and its symbol is Î¼m).
Blood count terms: Rdw means red cell distribution width, which is the range of values for the width of your red blood cells. A higher number could mean that you are making lots more red cells for some reason. Mch mean mean (or average) red cell hemoglobin, which is the amount of hemoglobin in each red blood cell.
