Brief Answer:
Probable Vit B12 deficiency.
Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for sharing your report.
I have reviewed your report. MCV(Mean corpuscular hemoglobin) is high. This is measurement in number and macrocyte word is used to describe this.
Presence of occasional ovalocytes is fine.
Macrocytes in blood report indicates that there are chances that you have Vit B12 deficiency.
This is very common now a days due to various reasons.
Please discuss this with your doctor,if you have any problem like easy fatigue,decreased productiveness,weakness etc, he may decide to give you Vit B12 supplementation.
Please talk to your doctor.

Dr.Pragnesh
