###Human: Do my lab values indicate iron deficiency anemia? ###Assistant: Hello. From these test results, you appear to have microcytosis and hypochromia of the red blood cells. This is most commonly seen in iron deficiency anemia. I would suggest you take iron and folic acid tablets thrice daily after meals for at least a month. As for the numbness of hands and feet, this could be a sign of vitamin B12 deficiency. Are you a vegetarian? If so then this could be a reason for the numbness. The other symptoms that you have described are consistent with iron deficiency. I would also advise you to not donate blood until your blood iron levels and ferritin stores are normalized.
