I am a nursing student and would like to know what the lab value RDW stands for? All I know is that it stands for Red Blood Cell Distribution Width. What is it's significance? What are the nursing interventions for a patient who has an elevated RDW? Can it be corrected/curable? Is it linked to any particular cancers or diseases?
