This report examines the state-space trajectory of RDW and Albumin. Together, these markers define the RDW/Albumin Ratio (RAR). - RDW: RDW (Red Cell Distribution Width) measures the variation in red blood cell size. High values (anisocytosis) can indicate nutrient deficiencies (B12/Iron) or chronic inflammation. - Albumin: Albumin is a major protein produced by the liver. It is a ‘negative acute-phase reactant,’ meaning levels drop during systemic inflammation or chronic disease. - RDW/Albumin Ratio (RAR): The RDW/Albumin Ratio is an emerging prognostic marker for systemic inflammation and mortality. High values (>3.5) indicate high inflammation (High RDW) combined with low metabolic reserve (Low Albumin). This report is created to be completely generic. It is controlled by a configuration section which defines the two variables used and the equation to combine them along with names, units, ranges, and a discussion of each variable.
