Brief Answer:
Needs to be reviewed after delivery.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr XXXXXXX

Thank you for attaching the reports.

Your wife's reports are essentially normal for pregnancy, these are expected changes in the blood picture of later pregnancy.

This is called left shift and is usually indicative of some infection.

So check to see if there is urinary tract infection by doing urine culture and sensitivity test.

Apart from that, I do not think anything else needs to be done at this moment.

It is not worrisome as of now.

You can relax.

If you still have any doubts, you can discuss with your treating obstetrician.

Hope this answers your query.

Best wishes for you and your wife, I hope she has a safe and happy pregnancy.

Regards.
