wbc 8.1 rbc 5.5 h hemog 11.5l hemoc 38.3 mcv 70l mch 20.9 mchc 30 rdw 21.4 plate 257
just anemia? opinions please

Accepted Answer

Check ferritin level: Is the MCV 70? IF so, that would suggest a blood disorder-thalassemia or hemoglobin E. Because the hemoglobin is normal, or almost so, this suggests the disorder  would be in "trait" or heterozygous form, with little or no symptoms or consequences. However, it would be common to have iron prescribed, mistaking this for iron deficiency, and people can then develop too much iron in their body.
