I have received my blood report. The Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) is 15.1 percent, which is slightly high by 1.1 percent according to the report, and lymphocytes are also slightly elevated at 40.4 percent. My platelet count is 154,000/mm. Could you please suggest if these results indicate any underlying issue?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have lab results of WBC 12.4, platelets 470, MPV 7.1, lymphocytes 3.5. Is this a cause of concern? Please note I also have allergies and I did have a flu shot right before having the blood work done.
