Treatment and symptoms of RDW SD 42 fL | Diet for normal RDW SD level 42 fL

RDW SD 42

Normal RDW SD level of 42 can cause a number of symptoms.

An abnormal RDW-SD (Red Cell Distribution Width - Standard Deviation) level of 42 indicates a range of red blood cell sizes and can be a sign of evolving anemia or other red cell production disorders. When RDW-SD measures 42, it may signal disruptions in erythropoiesis, often seen in nutrient deficiencies or bone marrow abnormalities. This parameter is essential in evaluating the morphology of red cells and is particularly valuable when standard indices are inconclusive. Although there are various treatments, diet change should be your first focus.

Below are the symptoms and treatments associated with high RDW-SD levels:

  • Symptoms of High RDW-SD Levels:
    • High RDW-SD indicates greater variability in red blood cell size, which can be associated with various types of anemia, including iron deficiency anemia, vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, and other hematologic disorders.
    • Symptoms may include fatigue, weakness, dizziness, pale skin, and shortness of breath due to the underlying cause of the anemia.
    • High RDW-SD can also indicate that the bone marrow is producing red blood cells of varying sizes, often due to nutrient deficiencies or chronic illness.
  • Treatments for High RDW-SD Levels:
    • Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause of the high RDW-SD. This could include iron supplementation for iron deficiency anemia or vitamin B12/folate supplementation for deficiencies in these nutrients.
    • If high RDW-SD is due to a chronic illness, managing the underlying condition (e.g., kidney disease, liver disease, or inflammatory disorders) may help improve RDW-SD levels.
    • In cases of more severe anemia, additional treatments such as blood transfusions or medications to stimulate red blood cell production may be required.

What to do after RDW SD blood test?

If bleeding occurs after your RDW SD test, raise your arm and apply pressure to the spot for at least 3 minutes. It’s normal to see some bruising after a RDW SD blood draw. If you feel pain following the RDW SD test, apply ice wrapped in a towel to the area for 10 minutes. For anything more than mild discomfort, contact your doctor.
