red blood cell distribution width-coefficient of variation  
The red cell distribution width (RDW) is a measurement derived from the red blood cell distribution curves generated on automated hematology analyzers and is an indicator of variation in RBC size within a blood sample. The RDW is used along with the indices (MCV, MCH, MCHC) to describe a population of RBCs. The RDW measures the deviation of the RBC width, not the actual width or size of individual cells. The RDW-CV is a calculation based on both the width of the distribution curve and the mean cell size. It is calculated by dividing the standard deviation of the mean cell size by the MCV of the red cells and multiplying by 100 to convert to a percentage.
