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?

So, my dad is 59 and he's had this high d-dimer level at 1.82. He got over COVID about 47 days back. Just after he got discharged, we checked, and the d-dimer was at 0.5, but now it's jumped to 1.82. Plus, his white blood cells went down from 10,000 to 4,000 over these weeks. Is this something we should be really worried about? Can you suggest any treatment or ideas on what's going on?
