With regard to the laboratory data, patients with low RDW had a higher level of hemoglobin (11.8 ± 2.8 vs 9.7 ± 2.6 g/dL, p < 0.001) and albumin (3.3 ± 0.8 vs 2.8 ± 0.8, p < 0.001), lower serum creatinine (1.5 ± 1.7 vs 2.0 ± 2.0 mg/dL, p < 0.001), and were less likely to receive blood transfusion prior to sepsis (4.1% vs 10.7%, p < 0.001). The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is Sepsis.
