red blood cellSummary Alterations in the erythron such as anemia and erythrocytosis are common in clinical practice. As a result, it is important for the equine clinician to be familiar with the laboratory diagnostics used to evaluate the erythron, understand interpretation of results, and to be...
In the present study, blood was collected after clinical signs of disease developed, and the severe weight loss, due to dehydration, precluded accurate interpretation of red blood cell counts (which increase during hemoconcentration) and are therefore not shown. The degree of hemolysis was assessed...
High red blood cell count doesn’t always indicate a health problem, it could also be a symptom of a disease or disorder in certain cases. Read on to find more.
BackgroundRed blood cell distribution width (RDW), a component of an electronic complete blood count, is a measure of heterogeneity in the size of
Malaria has had a major effect on the human genome, with many protective polymorphisms—such as the sickle-cell trait—having been selected to high frequencies in malaria-endemic regions1,2. The blood group variant Dantu provides 74% protection against all forms of severe malaria in homozygous in...
A complete blood cell count was done at time 0. Glucose, electrolytes, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and creatinine were measured at hours 0, 4, and 24. Cerebral tissue oxygen saturation was measured noninvasively during transfusion using near-infrared spectroscopy. Adverse outcomes were recorded ...
In particular, knowledge of the RI of RBCs is needed to derive their hemoglobin (Hb) content and corresponding cell volume from light scattering measurements in flow cytometry13,14. Such measurements are routinely performed for medical diagnostics in the complete blood count (CBC). Clinical parameter...

One pathophysiological sign of sarcopenia is chronic inflammation. Given that levels of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) are increased in chronic inflammation, we evaluated the association between increased RDW and sarcopenia among adults in the g
doi:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2020.22058 COVID-19 Resource Center Key Points Question In patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection, is there an association between mortality risk and red blood cell distribution width (RDW), a routine complete blood count component, at the time of admission and during ...
