RDW stands for red cell distribution width and it shows the variation of the size of your red blood cells. I dont really understand what 17 is, is it fl/L which is extremely low, or %, which is in the upper limit. I'm gonna go ahead and presume its % then its affected by your MCV. Basically, 17 means that you have a lot of different sizes of RBC-s.
