Zidovudine and Red-Cell Distribution Width

New England Journal of Medicine, 2005
To the Editor: Zidovudine was the first drug approved for the treatment of HIV infection and is still a mainstay of antiretroviral therapy. Patients taking zidovudine have an increase in the mean corpuscular volume, a variable that is often used to evaluate patients' adherence to treatment.1–3 However, changes in the mean corpuscular volume are seen ...

Red cell distribution width in migraine

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, 2013
SummaryIntroductionSeveral studies support the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of migraine. Red cell distribution width (RDW), a measure of heterogeneity in the size of circulating erythrocytes, is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure and stroke.

The red blood cell distribution width

The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1991
The availability of automated blood cell analyzers that provide an index of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) has lead to new approaches to patients with anemia. While the emergency physician is primarily responsible for the detection of patients with anemia, the inclusion of the RDW in the complete blood count has made diagnosing certain anemias

Red cell distribution width (RDW) changes in pregnancy

International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 1998
As part of an exercise in establishing normograms of hematological parameters in pregnancy, we studied the red cell distribution width (RDW) in healthy pregnant women.A longitudinal study of RDW measurements in 121 pregnant women at 16 and 34 weeks gestation and during labor and at Days 3 and 7 postpartum.

Red Blood Cell Distribution Width and Atrial Fibrillation

Biomarkers in Medicine, 2020
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice and is a major health problem associated with remarkable morbidity, mortality and has considerable healthcare costs. Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) reflects the heterogeneity of the volume and size of red blood cells.

Increased red cell distribution width and coeliac disease

Digestive and Liver Disease, 2000
Despite availability of sensitive screening tests, coeliac disease is still underdiagnosed. To determine which haematochemical abnormalities might be more predictive of this condition, we reviewed the clinical records of our series of adult patients affected by coeliac disease.Six haematochemical parameters (haemoglobin, red cell distribution width ...

Red Cell Distribution Width in Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Archivos de Bronconeumología (English Edition), 2017
Red cell distribution width (RDW) describes heterogeneity in the size of red blood cells. An increase in RDW has been associated with excess mortality in heart failure and other chronic diseases. Since there is an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), it is possible that these patients have a high ...

Red cell distribution width in sickle cell disease.

Annals of clinical and laboratory science, 1986
Red cell distribution width (RDW), an electronically determined index of anisocytosis, was examined in 60 patients with sickle cell anemia (Hb SS), 28 patients with hemoglobin sickle cell (SC) disease, and seven patients with sickle cell-beta(+) thalassemia (S-thal). All patients were adults and in the steady state of their disease. The RDW was greater

Red Cell Distribution Width and Contrast-Induced Nephropathy

Angiology, 2015
The recent report by Kurtul et al on ‘‘Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) and Contrast-Induced Nephropathy (CIN)’’ is very interesting. A similar finding that RDW could be predictive for CIN was also reported by Akkoyun et al. There are some concerns regarding using RDW.
