In routine blood test for my husband, PLATELET DISTRIBUTION WIDTH (PDW) is shown as 19.6 fL where 9.6-15.2 is the normal value. Is it Is it indicative of a underlying disease?

An increase in pdw suggests that your husbands bone marrow is producing new platelets after some kind of inflammation in the body.

What does low platelet distribution width mean? Each and every parameter in my cbc test is normal but pdw is 13.4% and normal range is 25-65%

Dear lybrate-user, Firstly, I assume a physician has recommended these tests for a reason, please check with him/her. Based on the information provided, it appears that he needs diet and workout counseling. Being a teenager, shedding few kilos would help him gain confidence. Ensure he gets full body workout at least 4 days a week for 30 minutes. I understand he takes in non-veg food, try to reduce fatty materials, and reduce simple carbohydrates. Try to consult a dietician and workout expert for more detailed assessment.

Hi welcome to Lybrate doctors will ask for tests based on the symptoms of patients-- without knowing patient symptoms doctor will not decide based on test reports alone. Only after discussing patient problems and studying test results --treatment can be suggested you can go to a doctor with test results and discuss your problems and get treatment or if there is difficulty you can consult online with your test results and symptoms.
