My platelet distribution width PDW is 8.9 FL as per my blood report which is below the normal range. My platelet to large cell ratio PLCR is low at 14.8 percent. Is this a cause for worry and should I consult a doctor?

These values are slightly low but not worrisome if total platelet count and rest of the blood parameters are normal. No specific treatment needed unless symptomatic.

I consulted doctors, and based on laboratory investigation, my WBC count was found to be lower than the reference range, i.e., 3100.
