Brief Answer:
Iron rich foods

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Immature granulocytes are white blood cells that will become monocytes, eosinophils and basophils.

Its normal range varies from 0-1 % K/ul.

Your value is within normal range so you do not need to worry.

The normal range of erythrocytes varies from 4.32 to 5.72 million cells per microliter.

The test is used to see how many red blood cells you have in your blood.

In your case erythrocytes is 4.12 and it is minorly low.

The cause of this low value in your case can be due to anemia, nutritional deficiencies such as iron, copper, folate, vitamins B6 and B12 .

You need to take Iron-rich foods like meats, chicken, turkey, fish, whole-grain bread and soybeans to improve your nutrition.
