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 results are within normal limits and are not a cause for concern. Your symptoms require a different explanation as you are not anemic. Wish you good health!
