Hi,
Hgb is not done in urine. It indicates your blood hemoglobin. Yes, hemoglobin of 9.4g/dl is low and requires active nutritional intervention to increase the hemoglobin levels. Supplements like Vit B12, folic acid and iron are necessary.
CRP level indicates an ongoing inflammation. It would not say where, so it is a non-specific test.
All your urine tests are normal, so Urinary tract infection is ruled out.
Hope this helps.
Any further query, happy to help again.
