Medical - Medical: Cardiology / unit of measurement in a CBC
Catalan term or phrase: Paqs (San) – Volum plaquetari; amplada de la distribucio rel.
I am translating lab test results from Catalan to English and I was wondering, among other abbreviations, what "rel." referred. I understand the phrase above o mean:

Platelets (blood) - Platelet volume; rel. ???? distribution width. "Rel." seems to be an abbreviation for something, but I can't figure out what it is!

THANKS!
