Erythrocyte distribution width [Entitic volume] by Automated count   21000-5

LOINC Code


LOINC code21000-5
nameErythrocyte distribution width [Entitic volume] by Automated count
descriptionThe RDW-SD is determined from the RBC volume distribution curve. It is calculated from the width of the curve at 20% of the peak count.
statusACTIVE

Fully-Specified Name

componentErythrocyte distribution width
propertyEntVol  =  Entitic Volume
timePt  =  Point in time:  To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements.
systemRBC  =  Erythrocytes
scaleQn  =  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
methodAutomated count
