Brief Answer:
She has mild anemia.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your mother has slightly low hemoglobin.

Her MCV and MCHC are slightly low and it suggest hypochromic microcytic anemia.

Most common cause of hypochromic microcytic anemia is irin deficiency.

she should check her iron and ferritine level. She should take iron rich food like dates, green leafy vegetables, dry fruits, jaggery etc.

If required she can take iron supplements like ferrous sulphate or ferrous fumarate.

It is a very common problem. Don't worry much about that. Just be relaxed.
