A member asked:
My mcv is 81, my rdw 15 what could be the problem?

How's iron level?: The MCV is lowish, about where mine usually runs, but not inconsistent with good health. RDW tends to rise in early iron deficiency, before anemia appears, but this is by no means the only possibility. If you may be iron deficient (vegetarianism, heavy periods, pregnancy), your physician may check iron and iron binding capacity & discuss possible supplementation. Glad you asked, best wishes.
