|'''Red Cell Distribution Width.''' A marker of the variation in red cell volume; the greater variation in mean corpuscular volume (anisocytosis), the higher the RDW value. Anaemias with significant anisocytosis will result in increased RDW.

|bgcolor="#F2F2F2"| An acute phase protein which may be increased as a result of inflammatory responses. Plasma fibrinogen concentrations may take 24-48 hours to show an increase above normal ranges and up to 7 days to peak and so may be more useful in assessing chronic inflammatory responses.

|'''PT (prothrombin time)''' is used to assess the extrinsic pathway of the clotting cascade. Most clotting disorders (e.g hepatopathy, DIC) result in prolonged PT. Prolonged PT may be detectable prior to prolonged aPTT (intrinsic and common pathway).
