A member asked:

High rdw 16.9, b12 low normal 335. what does this mean? i have been tired a lot and hair loss

A doctor has provided 1 answer

More info: These results are not particularly helpful. The description of symptoms may be due to iron deficiency. Blood count and ferritin level would be helpful.
