Hello dear
Understand your concern.
According to your report you have low Hb, HCt, MCV, MCH, MCHC.
Following are the causes:
Anemia: Iron deficiency, microcytic anemia, chronic disease.
Chronic blood loss
Malnutrition

So take more healthy diet that contain more iron like spinach, sprout, Jaggery, chiken, kidney, fresh fruits
Avoid excessive tea, alcohol, smoking .
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
