I am translating a very long lab report. The abbreviation (W) appears next to a few of the readings. The (W) could actually be in German or English. This is what it looks like in my report:
Test Result
MONO# 0.58 (W)
RDW-SD 44.5
RDW-CV 13.6
PDW 20.7 (W)
MPV 13.4 (W)
Any ideas as to what the W stands for? Thank you in advance for any help offered!

By an amazing coincidence, the writer of the article turned out to be my brother-in-law's immediate boss. I asked the writer what the word meant, he told me, and I posted it as an answer - I would have used a confidence level of 6 if I could.
The asker still chose one of the wrong answers.

However, they advised me to contact their lab which is not in-house. I have done that as well and waiting for further clarification.
As you pointed out correctly in your proposal 'RDW/PDW' already mean 'red cell/platelet distribution *width*'. But why would it need a second 'W' for 'width' in the right column of the report then?
We have had this before:

Shame on you to accuse me of copying you. You? Never.
You can see that they do the tests themselves. Till tomorrow then. I'm gone.
