| Response from Dr. Holodniy
 You definitely have anemia. There are a few lab results missing, particularly the MCV, which if in the normal range, likely indicates normochromic normocytic anemia. There are many potential causes. This first thing is to make sure you are not having any kind of blood loss. The GI tract would be a common source. Next, to make sure that you don't have any vitamin or iron deficiencies. Your doctor should know what to do to work this up and whether treatment is indicated. | ||||||||
