[|Human|] I just got my daily labs back. I had a kidney transplant back in June 2010. My labs are all normal except for an elevated RDW at 15.5. Should I be concerned? We want to try and have kids very soon. I have a call into the doctors office but no call back yet.
[|AI|]  Hello, RDW means red cell distribution width. It is normally done in patients with anemia to find out the cause of anemia as there are few causes for it. If your only RDW is slightly raised and other parameters are in normal range there is nothing to be worried about. Still if you want to be sure about it, you can start some multivitamin capsule containing it b12 and folic acid once a day. Still I would suggest you to show your total report to your doctors you have not mentioned other values of the blood report. Till then I can suggest that it's not something to be much worried about. Thank you
