A member asked:
Could two heavy 7 day periods within 3 weeks cause a slight rise in rwd on a cbc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes it can due to your bone marrow replacing what is lost. Those new cells tend to be a little bigger in some cases and can result in a slightly increased RDW in some cases....depends on true amount of blood lost though.
