Why would smudge cells show up on my CBC? I also have high MPV. What would this indicate?

@tcarni111, I hope you saw the helpful post from @gently. I agree that following up with your primary doctor was a good recommendation on the part of the ER doctor. The smudge cells are likely a result of the inflammation caused by the flare of diverticulitis. Followup bloodwork will help determine if things returned to normal or if further investigation is necessary.

How are you feeling?
