Hello and welcome to HCM,
The interpretation of blood report is as follows:
The term hypochromia refers to decreased chromia or decreased hemoglobin content of the red blood cells.
Hypochromia is most commonly due to iron deficiency which can be managed by iron supplements.
Abnormal platelet distribution refers to variation in sizes of platelets.
Abnormal platelet distribution usually occurs in cases of decreased platelet counts.
Thanks and take care
