Hi Thanks for query. Based on your query and findings 1. RBCs are low as of now, since you are deficient in iron, it reflects in Hemoglobin and RBC. 2. Get a reticulocyte count done after 15 days of starting treatment for anemia. This would help in knowing response to treatment of anemia. 3. Neutrophils are in normal range , so don't bother much. 4. Lymphocytes count is in the lower limit of normal, so not to worry as long as you are not having any infections. 5. Parameters related to iron are low, which will settle with correction of iron deficiency. 6. Be regular on your medication and take diet rich in iron. Hope this helps. Regards
