After going through all details, I could summarize that your son has severe anemia and very high LDH level!
THE FEATURE SUGGEST SEVERE HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA BUT SOME OTHER TEST REPORTS ARE NOT CORRELATING HERE; Few other values like reticulocyte count, P/S results and COOMB'S TEST SHOULD BE ABNORMAL.
Therefore, I would like to suggest you to see a hematologist urgently; could be some rare variant or repeat CBC from some better lab!
