Hi,
Thanks for the query.
You have provided me with good information.
You have increased Red cell Distribution Width showing a value of 14.4.
This can be caused by the beginning stages of a deficiency in vitamin B12 or folic acid (a type of vitamin) in the body. It can also be caused by the beginning stages of take Tablets like Nurokind once daily for 3 months.
Increase your intake of XXXXXXX leafy vegetables. If you are a non vegetarian, you can take Clams, Oysters, Mussels, Fish, Crab, Lobster, Lamb, Eggs and cheese.
I hope I have answered your query. Please accept my answer if you have no further queries.
Regards.
