I'm a bit confused about my recent blood test results. My RBC count came out to be 5.88 million per cubic millimeter, and the report states the normal max range is 5.6 millioncu mm. But when I looked it up online, I found that for men, the max range can be up to 6.1 millioncu mm. I'm trying to figure out which range is correctshould I be worried that mine is slightly above the report's limit, or is it actually within the normal range according to other sources?

I've had a minor skin surgery recently, and my doctor recommended I get a CBP. I noticed in my report that my RBC and RDW levels are higher than normal, while my MCH, MCV, and MCHC are lower. Should I be worried about this? I'm generally healthy and don't have any symptoms that seem concerning to me. Can you help me understand what this might mean?

Your RBC and RDW being high, along with low MCH, MCV, and MCHC, might suggest some mild anemia or other factors affecting red blood cells. Since you're not experiencing symptoms, its likely not a serious concern, but it's a good idea to follow up with your doctor to understand the context of these results.
