Hello and welcome to HCM,
The blood report is absolutely normal and within limits.
The report gives information regarding the levels of hemoglobin, hematocrit, red cell indices, ESR and total leukocyte count.
The terms 'normocytic normochromic' refers to the size, shape and chromia of the red cells.
If there is any abnormality of size, shape and chromia of the red blood cells, that will be detected by red cell indices and peripheral blood smear examination.
Variation in these parameters identifies red cell abnormalities like anemia.
In your case the red blood cells are within normal limits.
thanks and take care
