Red cell distribution width (RDW) laboratory test is a part of a standard complete blood count (CBC), and it is used along with other RBC indices, especially mean corpuscular volume (MCV) to help determine the causes of anemia.ed cell distribution width (RDW) is a parameter that measures variation in red blood cell size or red blood cell volume.
RDW is an early marker of several types of anemia, thatâs because RDW value means how red cells sizes are distributed in the blood sample, the normal RDW value means that RBCs are in normal size or the same size, high or low RDW value means that the RBCs show variant sizes, in many types of anemia, RBCs appear in abnormal sizes which s detected by RDW value.
