Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:1. Hemoglobin level is good, however endocytosis suggests early possibly onset of iron or vitamin B12 deficiency. RDW is also high indicating the same anisocytosis2. Get a serum iron studies and B12 assay done for evaluation.3. At present, nothing to worry. Do followup after a month with reticulocyte count. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
