| name | Erythrocyte [DistWidth] in Blood by Automated count | ||
| description | The RDW-CV is the ratio of the variation in width to the mean width of the RBC volume distribution curve taken at +/- 1CV. | ||
| status | ACTIVE | ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Erythrocyte | ||
| property | DistWidth | ||
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | ||

| scale | Qn = Quantitative: The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256 | ||
