What does high RBC and RDW mean in blood test?
High RBC and RDW can be caused by numerous problems.
High levels of RBC and RDW in the blood indicate a variety of health problems. If your blood RBC level is between 4.5 mil/uL to 5.5 mil/uL and the RDW level is between 11.6 mil/uL to 14 %, then your body does not have any underlying health problems. But if RBC and RDW levels exceed these levels, you should see a doctor immediately.

How is a blood test performed in the lab?
Depending on the symptoms you are experiencing, your doctor may order a RBC and RDW test. In most hospitals RBC and RDW results can be obtained within three to six hours after blood is taken. The blood is usually drawn from a vein on the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand. Drink plenty of water before your appointment. If you experience any symptoms that you are concerned about are out of the ordinary, call your doctor immediately.
