If anemia is observed,�RDW test�results are often used together with mean corpuscular volume (MCV) results to determine the possible causes of the anemia. Increased RBC can be linked to secondary�causes, such as, chronic hypoxia or tumors releasing erythropoietin. Polycythemia vera is due to abnormally�increased red cell production in the bone marrow.
