I'm a bit concerned after seeing my recent blood report. It shows a high ESR, and my MCHC is low. I'm not entirely sure what this means. Could you tell me what might be going on, and what kind of specialist I should consult about these results?

I'm really concerned about my brother. His CBC report shows elevated neutrophils at 7.59, low lymphocytes at 17, eosinophils at 0.54, TLC is at 10.3, and his RBC count is 4.45.
