Your white blood cell count is slightly low ( 4.00-is lower limit of normal range for an adult). Your platelet counts are almost normal - so nothing to worry about your platelets. 14% monocytes are on higher side though.
I would suggest a repeat Complete blood count (CBC) WITH PERIPHERAL SMEAR EXAMINATION. This test would highlight any problems in your blood profile.
You have not mentioned your BUN and creatinine values ? Do you have any previous kidney disease ?
