Red blood cell size differential method for time-series detailed monitoring of anemic disorders with RBC size abnormalities in mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and/or red blood cell distribution width (RDW)
Background: Size heterogeneity in red blood cells (RBCs), as indicated by elevated RBC distribution width (RDW), is increasingly considered a prognostic factor in various diseases. However, the semi-quantitative nature of the RDW value appears limited when evaluating quantitative changes in time-ser...
