What Causes High RDW And What Can Be Done To Improve One's Health?
Iron studies is suggested for high RDW.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
i have gone through your CBC report.
High RDW is indicative of variation in size of red blood cells.
High RDW is usually the first sign of iron deficiency.
Your hemoglobin is within normal range.
However, I would suggest you to get iron studies comprising of iron level, TIBC, % saturation and ferritin.
In case ferritin is found to be low, you need to take iron supplements after consulting your primary healthcare provider.
High ESR is a non-specific marker raised in underlying inflammatory conditions like infections and inflammation.
ESR slowly comes to normal value as underlying infection or inflammation is under control.
High MPV suggests variation is size of platelets.
There is nothing to worry since platelet count is normal.
Rest all values are normal.
Thanks and take care
