My recent CBC blood test report shows PDW of 17.1, WBC of 11.4 (normal range is 4 to 9), and HCT of 41.8 (normal range is 34 to 38). Could you please advise me on what these results indicate and provide your valuable suggestion?

Slightly elevated PDW and WBC may indicate inflammation or infection. HCT is mildly high. Repeat CBC and consult if symptoms persist.
