How high?: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, you may have polycythemia.

Last blood work showed high RDW (15.8), low MCH (25.7) but normal Hemoglobin 13.4 and normal hematocrit 41.6. Inquired about anemia. Was told possible Early Red Cell Release (hematocrit count had not been factored in). Would it be serious condition?
