nothing if the RDW and MCV are normal
what does it mean when your RDW is 11.3? I know normal is 11.5-14.5. But how much ashould I be concerned?
RDW is Red cell Distribution Width. It is the difference in size of your red blood cells. (If they were all exactly the same size, the number would be low. If some were tiny and some were huge, the number would be high). An acceptable range is 11.5 to 14.5%. This means your value is higher, and you have higher amounts of variation in the size of your red blood cells. This could be due to any number of things, and this data by itself doesn't say much about any condition.
Do your own search. Hah take that. Now you are just reading and wasting your time and you couldn't do anything about it. :)
There are 2368 ounces in 148 pounds, since 1 pound = 16 ounces so, 148 * 16 = 2368 ounces
RDW means "Red blood cell Distribution Width" that takes place with the blood. If one has a low Rdw i means they are anemic.
In medicine, RDW means red cell distribution width. A low RDW means that the erythrocytes or red blood cells are uniform in size.

RDW (Red blood cell Distribution Width) - Describes how much your red blood cells differ in size from one another. The lower the number, the more uniform in size. A RDW under 15.0% is considered "normal". A RDW of 15.2% is not significantly high and shouldn't be cause for concern.
Means that the variation in the size of your red blood cell is very small. That it! Inother words, no problem!RDW refers to the variation in size if your red blood cells.A low RDW means that the cells are all roughly the same size.A high RDW means there isa high variation in the sizes of the cells and usually means a deficiency of iron and/or B12.
A low RDW-cv on a hematology test means that there is a very small variation in the size of your red blood cell. Low RDW means that the cells are mostly the same size, while high RDW means the sizes are different.
RDW-CV stands for Red Cell Distribution Width - Cell Volume. It means that the red blood cells vary a lot in size.
There is no specific meaning to rdw in mathematics.

I had blood work recently & my RDW was at 16.6 & my Iron was at 21. Does this mean that I'm anemic? I also recently got over a UTI. (Urinary Tract Infection). Does this indicate any other health issues?
