Brief Answer:
maybe iron deficiency

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

There is no indication of any serious disorder here. The hemoglobin and MCV are slightly low, which suggest iron deficiency. We can do serum iron and TIBC to confirm that. If indeed iron is deficient, then we can provide iron supplements to correct it.

There is nothing to suggest leukemia here, even though you have provided family history.

Hope this helps.
