Brief Answer:
Hemoglobin is slightly low, iron deficiency suspected.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.

Your blood reports show a normal differential count (DLC), normal corrected ESR, normal PCV and normal platelet count.
The hemoglobin (Hb) level is slightly low- 12.8 gm%.
The lower limit of Hb in adult males is 13 gm%.
Presence of anisocytosis and poikilocytosis on peripheral blood smear indicates variation in size and shape of red blood cells.
Variation in red blood cells is commonly seen in microcytic anemia and microcytic anemia is most commonly seen in iron deficiency states.
I suggest you to get iron studies, serum ferritin level and stool for occult blood for further work up.

If you have more queries, I will be glad to answer.

Thanks
Dr Shailja Puri
