I'm a bit concerned about my platelet count, which came back as 0.79 lakh per cubic millimeter. Is this considered normal or moderate? Also, I'm wondering if there's a way to treat this without needing a transfusion.

Question

I'm a bit worried about my mom's blood work results. Her RDW came back at 14.2, and I noticed the reference range is between 11.5 and 14.0. Also, her PDW is 17.2, with the reference range being 9 to 17, and her absolute basophil count is 0. Plus, she's got some high cholesterol. Do you think this is something serious? Which specialist should I talk to about these results?
