Hi,
From what I can see all of the results are withing the normal range, except PDW (platelet distribution width), it is slightly higher than normal.
This does not cause you any immediate danger, but your doctor may want to look into the cause for the increase.
Another question worth asking is why did you have a CBC done? If you mentioned that, I could've given you more information on what to do next.
I hope this answers your question.
