Context: Will be needed for a meaningful answer. You have mild anemia, if any, anemia and LDH increase is nonspecific. Best would be to address with ordering physician and see if a referral to a hematologist may clarify findings. By context I mean history that prompted the exam, physical exam, meds taken, etc. Hope it helps.
