Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have attached my husband blood test report. Some of the values are: MCH 35.2 pg, lymphocytes 46.5 percent, eosinophils 6.4 percent, and RDW SD 49.5 fL. The other investigations are shown in the attachment. He recently had a stomach infection. Could you please review the report and suggest if there is anything to be concerned about?
