Elevated RDW is related to elevated MCV (mean corpuscular volume). This is an indicator for low B12 status. This should be tested and the new low is 400pg/ml.(labs will report values below 400, and still doctors think that is "normal"...so you should get the numbers for yourself to keep) Methylcobalamin is what you need to take --- shots from the doctor are cyano form which is inferior. Elevated MCV precedes frank anemia signs in other test values.
