Red cell distribution width, haemoglobin A1c and incidence of diabetes mellitus.

Engström, Gunnar LU ; Smith, Gustav LU ; Persson, Margaretha LU orcid ; Nilsson, Peter LU ; Melander, Olle LU orcid and Hedblad, Bo LU (2014) In Journal of Internal Medicine 276(2). p.174-183
Abstract
Hyperglycaemia has multiple effects on the red blood cell (RBC), including glycation of haemoglobin, reduced deformability and reduced lifespan. Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a measure of the heterogeneity of erythrocyte volumes. The aim of this study was to explore the relationships between RDW and glucose, haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM).
