Reticulocyte Volume Distribution Width Coefficient of Variation

**Semantic type:** Laboratory Procedure

**Definition:** A measurement of the volume dispersion within a reticulocyte population, calculated as the standard deviation of the mean reticulocyte volume divided by the mean reticulocyte volume, multiplied by 100 for conversion to a percentage.
