A high RDW means that there's variation in the size of your red blood cells beyond what's considered normal. A high RDW may be a sign of anemia or a related condition.

Sir, I have attached my urine routine test report. I want to know if there are any symptoms of hematuria. For the last six months my urine colour has been red.
