I have received my blood report. The Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) is 15.1 percent, which is slightly high by 1.1 percent according to the report, and lymphocytes are also slightly elevated at 40.4 percent. My platelet count is 154,000/mm. Could you please suggest if these results indicate any underlying issue?

Slightly high RDW and lymphocytes may suggest past infection or mild inflammation. Platelets are within normal range. No major concern.
