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.
