In my latest test results, WBC 10.9 and RDW 9.4 are inconsistent with the standard. I wonder if this may be related to an ailment that I have not been able to deal with for over a year, because no one knows what is wrong with me. I have a terrible rash on my face with sore spots that I cannot get rid of with the help of various medications, creams, antibiotics or the autovaccine. He goes from doctor to doctor and my condition does not improve, only after the drying agent I got scars. What else can I do?
Interpretation of the test result can only be performed by a doctor after examining the patient in the office, who has the original of this test - you cannot interpret any test only fragmentarily. The terms mentioned by you are elements of the morphological examination of peripheral blood - the abbreviation WBC (from the English words "white blood cells") - the norm is 4-10 thousand. On the other hand, RDW (from the English words "red cell distribution") i stands for the difference in the size of individual red blood cells in the peripheral blood. The WFD standard is determined depending on the laboratory, usually around 11, -14.5%. The WFD result should be interpreted in conjunction with other morphology parameters. The changes on the facial skin you described suggest that you suffer from acne - this condition is treated by dermatologists.
