High RBC and haemoglobin
I have recently done the routine test. My RBC count is 5.79, Haemoglobin is 17.2 and red cell distribution width 51.8
Does it require attention? If yes, which specialist should I meet.
Regards,
Alok

It is common to see an elevated hemoglobin level if you don't have a habit of smoking but if you aren't a smoker, I would advise you to meet a hematologist so that you can be examined and undergo the necessary investigations(if required) and treated accordingly.
