Brief Answer:
This is no big problem!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this inconsistency you have reported and all the inconveniences this has caused you. I have reviewed these attached results and there is nothing to be concerned about. These results are normal. Hematocrit is only an approximation and the most reliable indicator is hemoglobin. Be relaxed and all of these results are in the good range.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
