Yes ferritin levels are slightly low, so yes it could suggest iron deficiency anaemia however other values on your report i.e serum iron, Transferin and transferin saturation are in normal level so likely  diagnosis is mild iron deficiency Note there is no complete blood count(cbc) report available Can consult me with the cbc report
