Who is a nurse?

[SandyL2002]

I can't remember if Glenda or Liz or someone is a nurse on here?

Could you please tell me what

EOS on labs is and RDW?

Re: Who is a nurse?

I am NOT a nurse or medical professional, but I did some research and this is what I found.

EOS is short for Eosinophil, which is one of the 5 components that make up your WBC (white blood cells). This test measures what percentage EOS is in relation to your total WBC.

RDW stands for Red Blood Cell Distribution Width and measures variation in the size of your red blood cells.

Here is the table I used for the information. I can't guarantee it is correct.
