Abstract

Objectives: Determining the association between RDW and the two widely used markers of inflammation; ESR and hs-CRP. Materials and Methods: The laboratory tests including CBC, ESR, and hs-CRP were performed on 984 subjects, and the results were recorded. The association between RDW, ESR and hs-CRP was determined using Linear Regression Analysis and Correlation Coefficient of Pearson. Results: There were correlation between RDW and both hs-CRP and ESR in entire study population. The result of Linear Regression Analysis and Correlation Coefficient of Pearson for determining the association between RDW and hs-CRP was Y= 1.61x + 12.67, and r=0.28 (p<0.001), respectively; and for RDW and ESR was Y=0.913x + 12.74, and r=0.23 (p<0.001). Conclusion: According to strong association between RDW, ESR and hs-CRP, RDW can be used as potential marker of inflammation.
