Hello,

Your RBC count, hemoglobin, and WBC count are absolutely normal.

The normocytic hypochromic means Red blood cell size is normal but the content of hemoglobin is slightly less than normal (unrelated to your hemoglobin %).

Anisocytosis means there is variation in the sizes of RBC. Usually, these minor things won't cause any issues.

If you are feeling alright and no other symptoms like easy fatigue; don't worry about the report. But if you have any symptoms, meet general physician or hematologist for further details.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Siddartha
