The elevation represents a wide variability in red blood cell size. When elevated by itself, can be sign of early iron deficiency anemia.

Hi,
I am 48 yrs old and female. We have a health fair annually and I just got my results back. The only things that I had wrong were my cholesterol was a little high, but my good cholesterol was higher than it lists as normal and my RDW was 17.2. Could you please tell me what that means? Is it ok for the good cholesterol to be higher than normal (total cholesterol was 225). What does the high RDW mean? Everything else was normal.
Thanks for your help!
