See your doctor: In general, the combination of those laboratory findings can indicate a possible hemolytic anemia. This means that the red blood cells are abnormally destroyed and spill some byproducts into your blood stream, such as bilirubin. There are various types of hemolytic anemia and can be inherited or acquired. Please discuss further with the medical provider who ordered the test.
