Hello,
Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic!
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
The above described picture suggestive of iron deficiency anemia. All other parameters are normal.
Have diet rich in iron containing foods like green leafy vegetables. Iron supplements can also be tried.
Repeat the test after a week. If you get the same result again, additional investigations like bone marrow may be needed.
Thanks
