high rdw / rbc and low mcv mchc
Posted , 2 users are following.
I am having low MCV and MCH count, high RBC count and high RDW count.
Are these symptoms related to anemia or anything more sinister.
Does low MCV and MCH count but normal HB indicates to iron deficiency / anaemia?
I think I was some what dehydrated when this test was taken ...planning on taking one more test in next 2 weeks.

You are evidently not anaemic but you may still be iron deficient. Ask your doc for a ferritin level which will tell you if iron stores are the problem.
