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?

View allSo I'm trying to wrap my head around some recent blood test results and I'm a bit puzzled. My PDW and PLCR numbers seem pretty high, even though my platelet count is normal. The PDW is 19.2, PLCR is 52.5, and my platelet count is 210,000. Just as a reference, my platelet count was 255,000 back in August 2016. Should I be worried about the PDW and PLCR values? What could this mean for my overall health?
These values suggest that there may be some changes in the size and distribution of platelets in your blood. It could be due to various reasons such as inflammation, infection, or certain medical conditions. I would recommend further evaluation by a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

I'm a bit concerned about my test results. My mean platelet volume is showing 14.6, but my platelet count is within the normal range at 157, and my WBC is also normal. Could you help me understand what this all means?

I've been having some pretty bad allergy symptoms lately, and while they seemed to calm down after a few days, I'm worried because my blood work showed high levels of mpv at 13.2, pdw at 19, and plcr at 51. Plus, these red boils are popping up all over my body and then disappearing. It's really unsettling. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
