What Do These CBC, Vitamin D And Lipid Test Results Indicate?

I had a CBC , ferritin, vitD, and lipid tests ran last week. The results were vitD=23, ferritin=4, calcium level 8.3 and CBC results were WBC= 5.1, RBC= 3.93, hb= 11.1, hematocrit=33.5, MCV= 85.2, MCh-=28.2, mchc=33.1. My B12 is 236 , last year it was 494 . I had B12 shot biweekly to reach the level of 494, B12 had been 119. I am a 47 yr old female , my question is this IDA or some other cause. Thanks

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Review of your blood report.

Calcium levels are normal .
B12 levels are now in normal range.
MCHC,MCV,MCH- are normal.
Hemoglobin and RBC levels are normal.

HEMATOCRIT and FERRITIN levels are LESS.(ferritin if iron storage form in blood)

This indicates a iron defeciency anemia.

Rule out causes of blood loss like hemorrhoids, excess blood loss through menustrual cycle,WORM infestation.

Take iron supplements.Deworming tablet ALBENDAZOLE 400.
Take IRON rich food-jaggery,leafy vegetables,dry fruits,beans,sea food.
