RDW-CV and RDW-SD increasingly out of range after blood donations

So I did a couple of blood donations and RDW-CV and RDW-SD are increasingly out of range.
Hematocrit seems completly stable now, and I am supplementing Iron to get Ferritin > 100.

Are there any risks / concerns about RDW-CV and RDW-SD getting out of range? I read somewhere this is normal after blood donations, but I would like to know as much as possible about this.

Thanks!
 
[FONT=&quot]Red cell distribution width (RDW for short) is a blood test used to measure the difference in size and volume of your red blood cells. Doctors use the RDW blood test as part of a complete blood test to help diagnose certain conditions that can affect your health. A blood test to measure variations in blood cell size can help diagnose causes of anemia, heart disease, diabetes, and liver disease.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The normal range for measuring the differences in the size of red blood cells (erythrocyte) is between 11.8% and 14.6%. RDW level greater than 14.5% means that there is a large degree of variation in red blood cell size. Elevated red blood cell distribution width could mean that a person is anemic and is at risk of other health conditions.[/FONT]
