Brief Answer:
Iron is low, supplements required, vit B12 supplements need to be continue.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.

The interpretation of your lab investigations are as follows:
Vitamin B 12 is slightly lower than the expected.
This value may be seen during follow up for vitamin B 12 deficiency (people taking vitamin B 12 supplement). In case you taking vitamin B 12 you need to continue that.
Iron level is low, you need to take iron supplements after prescription from your doctor.
The creatinine level is very high, please confirm the value and units of serum creatinine.

Thanks and take care
