Higher RDW values indicate greater variation in size of RBC.most probably cause may be Infection, vigorous exercise or to certain drugs and ida in the presence of anemia. recently blood loss also increase RDW.
Kindly do consultation for ruleout exactly cause and further management.
(some times blood collection in other bulb instead of edta may also cause increase RDW)
