Role of red cell distribution width (RDW) in screening for Hb E trait in population screening for haemoglobin disorders.
Introduction- The national screening policy for haemoglobinopathies uses the red cell indices MCV <80 and MCH<27 cut offs, a strategy known to miss some individuals with Hb E trait(EBT), the commonest abnormal haemoglobin in Sri Lanka. We investigated the possibility of increasing the accura...
