Brief Answer:
RBC not statistically sigificant

Detailed Answer:
You are concerned about your RBC count being slightly high. The number that you show on your lab test is just above the normal range which makes it not statistically significant. The other blood count numbers are completely normal so I would report your lab work as normal. In fact I would say your blood work is excellent
