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, your findings are like due to iron deficiency. Take oral iron and multivitamins and repeat the tests in about 6 months. Wish you good health!
