Blood work, anemic, some input?

Hello everyone! I just wanted to post my blood work results and get some comments from all you experienced ladies

Cholesterol - 152
Triglycerides - 91
HDL - 27 (range: >40, they said this is the good Cholesterol and that I am low)
LDL - 107 (range: <100, these are the bad Cholesterol and I am 7 points high)
VLDL - 15 (no clue what this is?)
Chol/HDL - 5.6 (range: <4.44, its high, but again, I don't know what it is?)
Free T4 - 1.2
TSH, 3rd Gen. - 3.91
On the Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, the only ones that were out of range are:
Globulin - 3.7 (range: 1.8-3.5)
A/G Ratio - 0.9 (range: 1.1-2.4)
I don't see a "red blood cell count" on there anywhere, so where does it state that I am anemic, and according to the Dr., anemic enough they wanted to do a blood transfusion??
Thanks for the look-see and comments!

Did you have a Ferritin, Hemeglobin, iron saturation or iron serum test result? I was anemic with a low Ferritin level. (iron storage) I had an Iron Infusion last year. It took a while until I started feeling better. Here is a link to an anemia board:

I hope that you feel better soon

Thanks for the reply M Allison!
I looked over the panel and I could not find any reference to the things that you mentioned... going to call and ask my Dr. about them today.
Glad they do not think it is bad enough to give me an iron transfusion!

Thanks again, I will definately check into it!
