Metadichol® and Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) in CKD patients

Raghavan PR

Red blood cells originate in the bone marrow. Red cell distribution width (RDW) show sizes of circulating erythrocytes (RBC) and has been explored in several large clinical databases to be a robust marker of adverse clinical outcomes in patients. The prognostic value of RDW is seen in other conditions with end-organ dysfunction such as renal failure or. Elevated RDW levels are of significance in diseases such as kidney diseases. The high RDW levels are an indication of increased oxidative stress and closely related to the presence and poor prognosis of the disease.

No known therapy exists that can normalize RDW levels. In this paper, we present here case studies using Metadichol® [1] that leads to normal RDW levels in patients with CKD and PKD.
