Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I have read your concerns and let me assure you not to worry. Other parameters are not that low except hemoglobin and hematocrit. There are many causes for it depending on age. In elderly the most common cause is upper GI or Lower GI bleed which causes iron deficiency Upper GI bleed is mostly caused by gastritis or esophagitis, painkiller abuse or chronic liver disease Lower Hi bleed is caused mostly by ileitis, Crohn's disease etc In child Chat Doctor.  I am glad you have an appointment for colonoscopy and endoscopy. Do repeat your blood tests. Check your B12, folate and iron levels. Please do bilirubin levels with both direct and indirect. Do an abdominal ultrasound. And consult your local physician and discuss the results please Hope I have answered your query. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you good health.
