Numbers are numbers: Lab results are numbers, and numbers are just numbers. They have little meaning without looking at the whole person. One's primary care doctor can review the big picture and decide if these numbers are good, bad, or neutral. For example, one might want to know if the numbers were higher or lower last week or last month. Numbers going up too fast or going down too fast will worry people.

Low iron count: Hemoglobin/hematocrit you described is low (anemic) for an individual aged above 12 years. Your doctor will very likely request more tests to sort out the cause of your anemia.
