Anemia: I consider you to have mild anemia. You don't report your white cell or platelet count. Your MCHC does not suggest iron or vitamin B12 deficiency as the cause. Anemia of chronic inflammation, low testosterone level, myelodysplasia are some possibilities. A hematologist can advise you further.
