Above blood work does not meet criteria for polycythemia, leave alone vera, hemoglobin should be higher than 16 in women or 18 in men, for example. Your best reference remains your current doc who can place bloodwork in proper clinical context.

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 suggestive of thalassemia minor, not even near P vera. Wish you good health!
