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, there are multiple potential causes, e.g. iron deficiency, Internal bleeding, renal failure, malignancy etc. that can only be resolved by in person evaluation. Wish you good health!
