Brief Answer:
HB and pcv slightly high
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
Your hemoglobin is bit high, borderline though. Pcv and RBC are all related to hemoglobin and denotes same thing basically.
However, immediately there is no cause for worrying. From your previous query, I understand that you are not smoker. Currently you don't need any treatment for this. This is not serious at this time.
You also have higher cholesterol and liver enzymes, probably from fatty liver. For these, dietary modifications, exercises, etc are needed.
The hemoglobin and RBC count needs to be checked periodically.
Hope this helps.
Regards
