| WBC | 4.98 × 10³/mm³ | 3.78 - 11.42 | ✅ Normal | |

| HGB | 12.4 g/dL | 11.5 - 15.1 | ✅ Normal (low-normal) | Borderline low for a young woman |
| HCT | 36.2% | 34.4 - 44.6 | ✅ Normal (low-normal) | |
| MCV | 84.6 fL | 74.7 - 95.6 | ✅ Normal | Normocytic |
| MCH | 29.1 pg | 26.4 - 32.6 | ✅ Normal | Normochromic |
| MCHC | 34.4 g/dL | 31.9 - 35.8 | ✅ Normal | |

Red cell interpretation: Hemoglobin is low-normal at 12.4 g/dL with normal MCV, MCH, and MCHC - this is a normocytic, normochromic pattern. No frank anemia, but given she is a woman of reproductive age, this warrants monitoring for iron deficiency (which can exist before frank anemia develops).
| Parameter | Result | Reference Range | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| PLT | 265 × 10³/mm³ | 185 - 445 | ✅ Normal |
| MPV | 6.8 fL ⬇ | 7.5 - 10.9 | ⚠️ LOW |
| PCT | 0.180% | 0.150 - 0.400 | ✅ Normal |
| PDW | 8.0 fL ⬇ | 11.0 - 20.0 | ⚠️ LOW |
| P-LCC | 36 ⬇ | 44 - 140 | ⚠️ LOW |
| P-LCR | 13.6% ⬇ | 18.0 - 50.0 | ⚠️ LOW |
Platelet interpretation: Platelet count is normal, but MPV, PDW, P-LCC, and P-LCR are all low. Low MPV and PDW together suggest small, uniform platelets - this pattern is typically seen in:
- Iron deficiency (most common cause in young women)
- Inflammatory states / acute phase response
- Some cases of thrombocytosis Low P-LCR (low proportion of large platelets) corroborates this finding.

WBC interpretation: Differential is completely within normal limits. No evidence of infection, leukocytosis, leukopenia, or abnormal cells (no blasts, no atypical lymphocytes flagged on slide review).
| Finding | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Hb 12.4, HCT 36.2 (low-normal) | Borderline, watch for early iron deficiency |
| MCV/MCH/MCHC normal | Normocytic, normochromic - not a macrocytic or microcytic anemia yet |
| Low MPV, PDW, P-LCR, P-LCC | Suggests iron deficiency or inflammatory state - platelets are small and uniform |
| Normal WBC and differential | No infection, no dysplastic cells |
| No blast, no atypical lymphocytes | No hematologic malignancy concern |
