The blood count is largely within normal values. I do not see a value that suggests a significant disease. The WBC is within normal limits, as well as a normal differential.
The red cell count again is within normal limits, and not suggestive of anemia. The same goes for the platelet count.
Sometimes there can be variation between normal ranges between labs - but I do not see values significantly out of range.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
