Is There Any Reason To Worry With RCDW 14.7 And MPV 12.4?

Hi, I got my blood work done, as a part of my corporate health package along with ECG and Urinalysis. All have come normal other than 3 parameters.
1)HIGH SENSITIVITY CRP Low risk for CAD: 2.31
2)RCDW : 14.7
3) MPV : 12.4

Is there any reason to worry. My BP is 120 / 90 and ECG is normal.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. CRP is an inflammatory marker. Its level is low and this says you have low risk for heart attack.
2. Red cell distribution width is mildly elevated. It is normal and not to worry. If you hemoglobin is normal, not to worry.
3. Mean platelet volume correlation is necessary in bleeding disorders. As it was a routine workup, not to worry. As your BP and ECG findings are normal, your health is good.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
