I am 49 years old and recently underwent a health check up. My report shows that my iron is 222, transferrin saturation is 53.89 percent, total cholesterol is 209 mg/dl, LDL is 133 mg/dl, and eGFR is 85. My eosinophils are 10.5 percent, MCV is 112.6, MCH is 32.8, MCHC is 29.1, RDW SD is 63.7, and RDW CV is 15.1. Could you please review these values and let me know if anything is abnormal? Also, which type of doctor should I consult in Chennai for further evaluation?

High iron and saturation may indicate iron overload, possibly hemochromatosis. High MCV with low MCHC may suggest macrocytic anemia (e.g. B12/folate deficiency). Eosinophilia might relate to allergy or parasite. See Internal Medicine or Hematologist.
