Red cell distribution width as a predictor of outcome in hospitalized cirrhotic patients

Abstract: Background A systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is linked to red cell distribution width (RCDW), which produces pro-inflammatory signals that act directly on hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. This stimulation may cause alterations in the membrane of red blood cells (RBCs), as assessed by RCDW, which have been linked to increased morbidity and death in a number of systemic disorders. Aim This study aims to evaluate RCDW as a predictor of outcome in hospitalized cirrhotic patients. Met… Show more

“…And RDW-CV and RDW-SD could distinguish liver cirrhosis from chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and inactive hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers [ 20 ]. In addition, RDW-CV is a valuable predictor for predicting survival and length of hospitalization in patients with liver cirrhosis [ 21 ]. And CHB with RDW-CV more than 15.1% had a higher mortality [ 22 ].…”
