My experience as a Med Tech, led me to suspect Thallesemia anemia. (Being of Italian accent) I shared my lab results my doctor. I did have Thallesemia I have avoid Fe supplements) and blood transfusions for my anemia as needed.

Only your doctor can interpret medical results and can guide your treatments. I’m not a medical professional but have personal experience in this area so I’m only basing my comments on what I know, to help provide you with information.

Your blood work all looks good except for the hematocrit and hemoglobin, which are on the upper range of normal. The other relevant number is MCH (mean corpuscular hemoglobin). That level is a tick above normal too. MCH measures the health of blood cells. Higher than normal levels of MCH may indicate that you have anemia due to low folate or B-12 levels which correlate with the numbers you posted for Folate and B-12 earlier.

Are you having any of these symptoms? If you are, then you may want to ask your doctor to run further tests.
