Hi!
Welcome to HCM!

The laboratory findings given in your question are suggestive of iron deficiency anemia! Well, since the Ferritin level is with in the normal range, we have to rule out the possible causes of iron deficiency like any chronic inflammation.
To be more precise, it is anemia of mixed origin.
Regards!
