Normally, your red blood cells are all about the same size. A high RDW means that there is a major difference between the size of your smallest and largest red blood cells. This may be a sign of a medical condition.

Take a PREGNANCY ASSOCIATED PLASMA PROTEIN-A (PAPP-A) Test or Take a LEAD (RANDOM) - URINE Test
