Lab data: These results are meaningless unless placed in the context of your clinical condition. Would need a full medical history, physical exam and possibly more labs. Are you feeling abnormal? If not, would ignore these.

Have it repeated: The reason why you had blood count done is very important. For a 50 y/o male, a hemoglobin of 13.7 is low. I believe that the reference range for monocyte is wrong. When i added up your 3 types of white blood cell (WBC) counts, the total WBC is 5.6 which is normal. But, for a 50 year old, one should have a higher number of neutrophils, and lower number of lymphocyte count.
