A member asked:

My father (65 yrs old)did a cbc blood test and all results are normal except for the hemoglobin is below normal 11.5 and the rdw is above normal 16.5

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anemia: Anemia (low hemoglobin or hematocrit) is never normal, and it is important to find and correct the cause. There are many potential causes though and further blood tests, likely also a stool test or colonoscopy, are next steps to figure this out.
