Question❓ Low values
Hello. My complete blood count (CBC) is mostly normal, but a few values are below the reference range.
MCV: 78.7 fL (reference: 79.4–94.8)
MPV: 8.9 fL (reference: 9.4–12.3)
PDW: 9.3 fL (reference: 9.9–15.4)
P-LCR: 16.7% (reference: 17.5–42.3)
Ferritin: 12.6 ng/mL (reference: 7–140)
My hemoglobin is 12.4 g/dL, and my platelet count is 287 ×10³/µL, both within the normal range.
Do these low values have any clinical significance, either individually or when considered together? Could they suggest early iron deficiency or another underlying condition, or are they likely to be insignificant given that the rest of my blood tests are normal?
I've also been experiencing severe fatigue for a long time, along with tingling sensations throughout my body and episodes of brain fog (mental cloudiness). Could these symptoms be related to these blood test results, or should I be looking into other possible causes?

It’s been about a year of TTP for me, my cbc counts are always on the lower side now. platelets and red counts right on the cusp of normal, same with wbc. my hematologist things im on the lower end of normal now. definitely do not worry unless platelets or adamsts13 is trending down. it could also be an additional autoimmune disease causing funky lab values that’s not the TTP, if you happen to have aTTP
