A single drop of blood contains millions of erythrocytes and just thousands of leukocytes. Specifically, males have about 5.4 million erythrocytes per microliter (µL) of blood, and females have approximately 4.8 million per µL. In fact, erythrocytes are estimated to make up about 25 percent of the total cells in the body.

Hepcidin regulates iron but may increase deficiency risks in obesity and varies significantly in different health contexts, including its impact during pregnancy and disease.

Increased RDW can indicate conditions such as iron-deficiency anemia, folate, or vitamin B12 deficiencies. Classifying anemia by RDW is complicated due to varying cutoffs and disease presentations. RDW percentile distributions are available from studies in the U.K. and New Zealand, and research suggests age-specific cutoffs may be required as RDW tends to increase with age.
