Lab results

I agree and have done so in the past and both were normal. High RDW almost always implies low iron as well. Strange but will repeat. RBCs elevated but Hct and Hb normal, eh? I am normally on TRT with beefy dose of pellets so yes, weird that blood isn't high. Haven't phlebotomize for a while and the last time I did it put my Hb below normal. B12 has been high every lab test in the past year.
Will test iron/ferritin and post results.

High RDW "implies," low iron, but because your ratios are out of range it's not always an accurate conclusion that your iron is low. Conversely if you supplement with iron and don't need to, you can artificially effect other values.

It's a rather perplexing lab finding, and has been for a while. I should be seeing elevated Hb/Hct but am not, and last time I got phlebotomized it actually dropped me into anemic range. The MCV is low which would be consistent with iron deficiency if anemic. However, labs in the past have all showed normal Iron, TIBC and ferritin values. Who knows.
