What causes high Monocytes and low RDW?

High Monocytes and low RDW can be caused by many reasons.

If your Monocytes is in between 2 % and 10 % and your RDW is in between 11.6 % and 14 % then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Monocytes and RDW 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 Monocytes levels include:

• Bone marrow damage or failure
• Collagen vascular diseases
• Inflammatory bowel disease
• Infection within the heart
• Chronic infections

Normal range of Monocytes : 2 - 10 %

High Monocytes and low RDW can be caused by a lot of reasons. If you take Monocytes and RDW blood tests and the results are higher than 10 % for Monocytes and lower than 11.6 % for RDW, your physician may recommend more tests to figure out the problem.
