Hi,

Your MCV value is highly suggestive of macrocytic anemia.

Your RDW value also above normal range suggestive of variation in size and shape of red blood cells that is seen in anemia commonly.

I suggest you investigate with B12 estimation, peripheral smear examination report, HB estimation, serum ferritin estimation to rule out cause for anemia.
If B12 comes low or peripheral smear shows macrocytic red blood cells with hypersegmented neutrophils than B12 deficiency anemia can be the cause.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami, General & Family Physician
