Red blood cell distribution width and high MCV. Mixed-deficiency (iron + B12 or folate) anemia usually presents with high RDW and variable MCV. Recent hemorrhages typically present with high RDW and normal MCV. A false high RDW reading can occur if EDTA anticoagulated blood is used instead of citrated blood. See Pseudothrombocytopenia. 7. http://rdwbloodtest.com Red Blood Cell Distribution Width Red blood cell distribution width Red blood cell distribution width (RDW or RDW-CV or RCDW and RDW-SD) is a measure of the range of variation of red blood cell (RBC) volume that is reported as part of a standard complete blood count.

White blood cell underlying cause, though the cause may not always be found. The complete blood cell count is a blood panel that includes the overall WBC count and various subsets such as the absolute neutrophil count. Reference ranges for blood tests specify the typical counts in healthy people. TLC- (Total leucocyte count): Normal TLC in an adult person is 6000-8000WBC/mm^3 of blood. DLC- (Differential leucocyte count): Number/ (%) of different type of leucocyte in per cubic mm. of blood. White blood cell White blood cells (also called leukocytes or leucocytes and abbreviated as WBCs) are the cells of the immune system that
