Pathologist and Microbiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

The report posted by you is that of complete blood count (CBC). The CBC report shows low hemoglobin, low hematocrit, low MCV, MCH and MCHC.

This picture is suggestive of microcytic hypochromic anemia. I suggest you to get peripheral blood smears examination and iron studies since iron deficiency is the most common cause of microcytic hypochromic anemia.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shailja Puri , Pathologist and Microbiologist
