What is test rdw and glucose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Red cell distributio: It means the red cells in the blood are not all the same size. When someone has anemia, the RDW test can be used as extra info to find out what the anemia is from. Glucose means th sugar in the bloodstream .If it is high it could be a aign of diabetes in certain cases. It is unrelated to rdw.
