Red blood cell distribution width predicts coronary artery lesions in Kawasaki disease: insights from a Japanese cohort
Iron dysregulation may be associated with CAD, and RDW-CV may aid in identifying patients who may develop CAD in KD. Our findings were consistent with previous studies in other Asian populations, supporting the utility of RDW-CV as a predictor of CAD in KD in populations with various ethnic backgrounds.
