Brief Answer:
Hello. Patient has iron deficiency anemia
Detailed Answer:
Hello. dear. I have seen the reports. Reports suggest that he has iron deficiency anemia.
for this, we need to confirm it by doing the following tests
1. Iron profile
2. serum ferritin level
After that, we need to look for the cause of iron deficiency
for this a colonoscopy will be required, stool for occult blood and upper gastroscopy if required. Depending upon the reports corrective action will be taken.
Thanks and regards
