Your Hb and RBC count are very low.
Your MCV suggests Vit B 12 deficiency.
I suggest you consult a General Physician in your area for proper management.
Depending on the response to the treatment you may need bone marrow biopsy too

Your CBC report shows anaemia. There could be several reasons like nutrition deficiency, parasitic infestation or bleeding disorders causing anaemia. We need your history to rule out the underlying cause of anaemia. You need to take medication along with diet support to increase your haemoglobin levels. You can consult us through practo or our website

Hi Ankita, Went through your report. Since I don't have a comparison to know if this has been the range of Haemoglobin you have maintained in the past, I would divide my advice in 2 parts.
Part 1: identifying the cause of low haemoglobin
Part 2: how best can this be fixed.
Next Steps
so for Part 1: I'd suggest the following blood tests( fasting not needed)
1. Iron profile
2. vit B12
3. Haemoglobin Electrophoresis
Alternately if you have previous CBC reports or vit B12 report. At least 2 from the last 5 years. It will help identify the cause by method of deletion and save you sampling again.
Health Tips
Part 2:
lifestyle change including Iron rich food should start right away Ankita. Use tech to advantage and get a list of top 10 iron rich foods that suit your pallet and schedule.
Also safe to start a B12 supplement. Tab Nurokind OD daily after breakfast for 3 months.
Ankita, you can book a consultation via Practo with me ,either after you get the additional test, so you have more data on why the low haemoglobin or as per your convenience to be more informed. Take care.

Your hemoglobin is low and the high MCV suggests a possibility of vitamin B12 or folate deficiency or other causes of anemia, so this should not be ignored but it is definitely manageable with proper evaluation and treatment 👍 a detailed consultation can help guide the exact tests, medicines and diet plan needed for recovery safely 🌸

Looks like you have iron deficency anemia, which is very comman
Next Steps
You may benefit from taking an iron supplement, but before recommending the appropriate dose, I would need a little more information. Do you have any family history of liver disease, thalassemia, hemochromatosis, or any other blood-related disorders? Also, have you had any recent blood tests such as hemoglobin, ferritin, or iron studies?
Health Tips
Try to include more iron-rich foods in your diet such as: Green leafy vegetables like spinach and methi Beetroot Dates, raisins, figs, and jaggery Pomegranate Lentils, beans, chickpeas, and soy Nuts and seeds, especially pumpkin and sesame seeds. Vitamin C helps improve iron absorption, so try taking iron-rich foods along with lemon juice, oranges, amla, guava, or other citrus fruits. Also, avoid tea or coffee immediately before or after meals, as they can reduce iron absorption. Adequate hydration, proper nutrition, and regular follow-up blood tests are also important to monitor improvement.
