abnormal results on lab work

Does anyone know what it means to have a High Red Blood Cell count and RDW.  Low MCV, MCH, MCHC.  I also have a high SGPT and low EST GFR, and low anion gap.  I am a 44 yr old female and I do not drink and do not smoke.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Darsi

When I called to ask how my blood test were I was told that my Cholesterol and Triglycerides looked better and that everything else was normal.  This is why I always ask for a copy of my lab results.  I am just curious because there seems to be so many things that are flaged abnormal.  While I know that lab values vary mine are definately outside the normal range.  If I only had one level of something off and it was a one time thing it would not worry me but it seems like this is constant with my blood work and my doctor always blows it off.  Just would like to know that this is nothing to worry about.

I would ask the doctor or nurse to explain the results to you. Also, if you type in "blood test results normals" and do a google search, this might give you an idea too, however, talking to the doctor is better at first.
