What Does My Blood Test Result Indicate?

Hello. I am reading over my blod test results. I have a question regarding my WBC value at 6.1 range 3.4-10.8, my RBC value 3.49 range 4.30-6.10, hemoglobin 12.2 range 11.4-16.0, hematocrit 36.3 range 34.0-47.0, MCV 104.1 range 81.0-99.0, MCH 35.1 range 26.0-34.0, MCHC 33.7 range 32.0-36.0, RDW 12.5 range 11.5-14.5, MPV 10.2 range 6.0-9.5, Platelets 253 range 150-440. Just want to know what does all of this mean for me? Some values are under range while other vallues are ourside range, I read them online individually. Should I be concern about some type of blod sicknes?

I read your query and I understand your concern.

I wouldn't be much alarmed about that report. The main numbers which are white blood cells, hemoglobin concentration and platelets are normal, the other values are more necessary when there is an abnormality of these 3 in order to find the subtype and possible cause.
The one thing noted by those other values is that the average volume of your red blood cells is increase (but no anemia yet as hemoglobin is normal). That finding should call attention for the possibility of a deficit of Vitamin B12 or folic acid. It can also be present if there is a history of chronic alcohol abuse or chronic liver disease.

I hope to have been of help.
