Brief Answer:
Blood report shows low iron which requires iron supplements

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through your blood report.
The blood report shows low iron, low iron saturation and low ferritin.
Autoimmune screening for auto-antibodies are negative, thus autoimmune disease is ruled out.
Hepatitis B antibody is positive which is suggestive of successful vaccination.
Fasting blood sugar is slightly raised.
All other parameters- kidney functions,liver function and electrolytes are within normal range.
Flowcytometry shows elevated monocytes.
Elevated monocytes are seen in chronic inflammatory conditions.
Flowcytometry does not show any evidence of leukemia or lymphoma.
Vitamin B12, folic acid and haptoglobin are within normal range.
I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for prescription of iron supplements for 2-3 months to correct the iron deficiency.

Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja Puri
