What causes high ESR and low RDW CV?

High ESR and low RDW CV can be caused by many reasons.

If your ESR is in between 0.1 mm/hr and 14 mm/hr and your RDW CV is in between 11.6 % and 14 % then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for ESR and RDW CV respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

Some examples of conditions that can increase or decrease ESR levels include:

• Rheumatic fever
• Vascular disease
• Autoimmune diseases
• Inflammatory bowel disease
• Heart disease

Normal range of ESR : 0.1 - 14 mm/hr

High ESR and low RDW CV can be caused by a lot of reasons. If you take ESR and RDW CV blood tests and the results are higher than 14 mm/hr for ESR and lower than 11.6 % for RDW CV, your physician may recommend more tests to figure out the problem. You might also get these tests if your physician thinks you have some other disease.
