Your white blood cells count and procalcitonin(PCT) is normal
No infection / inflammation in body
Your hemoglobin is 9.4 which is mildly low
12 is normal lower limit for healthy females .
Additionally MCV is low means your red blood cell size is small meaning microcytic anemia most commonly due to iron deficiency .
Next Steps
get iron profile done to confirm iron deficiency
and supplement with diet and medication.
The report is full of too many shortcomings. Please seek a proper consultation with a General Physician in your area. Even a clinical examination is required.
Dear you have mild anemia - means you have a little bit low iron in blood .
No need to worry please take iron rich diet and get some more investigations done to know the type of anemia and the wards exact cause behind that
The CBC report shows low hemoglobin level, mostly due to iron deficiency.Consider taking ferrous bisglycinate daily for a few months and repeat the CBC and iron profile tests.
You have iron deficiency. Take more of fresh green vegetables, beetroot, pumpkin, fruits like pomegranate, water melon, raisins, dates.
Take syp R.B. tone one tablespoonful morning and evening for 4 to 6 weeks.
Repeat CBC after a month.
No need to worry
It’s Mild to Moderate Iron Deficiency Anemia which is common in Indians
Correction step- Green leafy vegetables (Palak)
- Iron rich diet and suppplements
Start- Tab FERROX XT- per oral - 24 hourly for 10 days
Get fresh CBC after next 10 days
Comment: Microcytic, hypochromic RBCs with high RDW may suggest early iron deficiency — although Hb is normal, it's borderline for a young female.
🔹 Platelets (PLT):
Platelet Count: 493 × 10⁹/L → ⚠️ Mildly high (Normal: 150–400)
MPV: 7.6 fL → ✅ Normal
PCT and PDW → Within acceptable ranges
🔎 Comment: Slightly high platelets may occur with mild inflammation or iron deficiency.
📌 Overall Summary:
✅ Fit for surgery (Cup ear surgery) — no acute infection or bleeding risk
⚠️ Mild microcytosis with high RDW → May indicate iron store depletion
Consider checking serum ferritin if clinically indicated
✅ No signs of infection, bleeding disorder, or anemia at present
📘 Reference:
Harrison’s Manual of Medicine – Interpretation of anemia and RBC indices suggests early changes appear in RDW and MCV before drop in hemoglobin in iron deficiency.

Management Plan
1. Further Evaluation
To confirm iron deficiency and rule out other causes of anemia:
• Serum ferritin (best early marker)
• Serum iron, TIBC, transferrin saturation
• Optional: Reticulocyte count, peripheral smear
2. Dietary Advice – Iron-Rich Foods
Encourage foods high in heme (better absorbed) and non-heme iron:
•
Next Steps
3. Medical Treatment
• Oral iron supplementation: Tab FEZORB plus 1-0-1 for 3 months
• Advise taking iron on empty stomach or with Vitamin C
Health Tips
4. Follow-Up
• Re-check Hb and reticulocyte count in 2–4 weeks
• If poor response, re-evaluate compliance, absorption (e.g. celiac), or alternate causes (anemia of chronic disease, thalassemia trait)

Blood reports shows mild anemia.
