Your hemoglobin is still in the normal range for a lady, i.e. no anemia and you are not iron deficiency. This result has nothing to do with the urinary tract infection. You should drink fluid well for a urine volume at least 2 liters/day if there is no contraindication with high fluid intake such as heart, kidney or liver disease.

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, none of the results you provided are a cause for concern. Wish you good health!
