hello, welcome to health care magic,
rdw : rbc[redblood cell] distribution width
mpv : mean platelet volume
cbc : complete blood counts
these are routine tests performed to diagnose type of anaemia
your thyroid profile and parathyroid hormone values are within normal ranges.
hope this info was useful
