View allI'm really concerned about some of my blood test results that came back high. The RDW-SD is 51.1 fL and the RDW-CV is 14.7. Also, the PDW is 20.16 fL, which is way above the reference range. Even the MPV is quite high at 14.4 fL. I know my platelet count is 152 and the total RBC is 4.8, both of which are normal. But I'm really worried because I've heard high counts can sometimes indicate something serious, like cancer. Can you please help explain what all this might mean?
The elevated RDW-SD, RDW-CV, PDW, and MPV values may indicate variations in red blood cell and platelet size, which can be seen in various conditions, including nutritional deficiencies, anemia, or chronic diseases, but are not typically specific indicators of cancer, so it's essential to consult with your doctor to discuss these results in the context of your overall health and determine if further testing or evaluation is necessary.

I recently had a routine CBC done and noticed my monocyte count is a bit high. The normal range is supposed to be 3.0 to 7.0, but mine came back at 7.9. Should I be worried about this? I did the test in the evening after fasting for 14 hours. Could that have affected the results?

I've been dealing with dengue and was in the hospital about 10 days ago. My platelet count was really low, around 68,000, but by the time I was discharged, it had gone up to 1.2 lakh. Since then, I've been on medication and doing regular CBC checks. The numbers have been climbing quite a bit: 2.5 lakh at the first check, 4.28 lakh at the second, and today it's at 5.1 lakh. Is it okay for my platelets to be this high, or should I be worried about it?
Your increasing platelet count, now at 5.1 lakh, after recovering from dengue fever, is likely a rebound effect, which is a common phenomenon after the body has fought off the infection;
