My test report shows MPV as 13.7 and RDW as 16.8. Is this a problem? Could you please suggest?

Both values are mildly elevated and may indicate early changes in platelet function or red blood cell variation. If you are healthy and CBC is otherwise normal, its not alarming. Repeat if symptoms like fatigue or bruising appear.

My wife is experiencing headache, body pain, lower abdominal pain, nausea, and loss of appetite. Two months ago, she had low platelets and typhoid, but was treated and diagnosed at that time. Now she is having similar problems again. Recently, her hematology tests were done, including CRP, ESR, CBC, and routine urine examination. I have attached the test reports for your reference. Please advise on the next steps.

Does a CBC test show any kind of infection or overall health issues? I mainly have symptoms of laziness, and pain in my legs and back. Would a CBC test be useful in my case?
