All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, the data you provided is consistent with iron deficiency. You doctor can give a one shot intravenous infusion of iron. Wish you good health!
