A member asked:
My platelet distribution width is 15.9% and my red cell distribution width is 15.2 fl. they are high? is this a problem?

No: I would not be concerned. As long as the platelet count is adequate and hemoglobin and hematocrit ok, little to worry about. However, it would be nice to know what your platelet count and hemoglobin are. Hope this helps.
