red cell distribution width (rdw)

How is RDW Measured?

RDW is calculated using automated hematology analyzers that measure the mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and the standard deviation of red blood cell volumes. The formula used is:
\[ RDW (\%) = \left( \frac{\text{Standard Deviation of MCV}}{\text{Mean MCV}} \right) \times 100 \]
