Hi, I am attaching my blood report. The MCV and MCHV seem to be out of the normal range. Could you please let me know if this is a cause for concern and if any further action is needed? Thank you.

MCV and MCHC imbalance may indicate early anaemia or iron or B12 deficiency. If mildly off, diet correction may help, otherwise, supplements are advised.

Question

For the past 20 days, I have been experiencing stiffness in the fingers of both hands when bending them, along with frequent popping or cracking sounds in my fingers, wrists, and shoulder joints. I have tested negative for Rheumatoid Arthritis. In my recent blood tests, my random blood sugar level was 155 (normal range is 70 to 140), and my Vitamin B12 serum level was 932 (normal range is 200 to 900). Additionally, my MCH and MCV levels are low, and my Mean Platelet Volume is higher than the normal range. I would like to know what these findings indicate about my health, and why my Vitamin B12 level is elevated. What could the test report suggest?
