What does this mean? "red blood cell distribut width" 14.4 % (11.6 - 14.0)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not much: This test is of limited value. All you need to know is that your hemoglobin(hb) is normal...That is all you need to worry about the red blood cells. If the hb is low, then you need to have your doctor find the cause and treat it.
