A member asked:

I feel tired and weekness, dr prescribed me iron pills, i took tablets for 2 months, then i did my cbc, my hb is 11.5 and %rdwd is 18, pz help me, ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: Your hemoglobin is still low and you likely need more treatment with iron. It is probable that your doctor has additional information that would be important in undertanding your whole health and not just the numbers. Rdw of 18 is higher than normal, but is okay for a person recovering from anemia.
