Need help understanding my CBC/DIFF and Urinalysis?

Here is the CBC,

WBC Low 4.25

RBC low 3.87

Hemoglobin low 10.3

hematocrit low 31.8

MCH Low 26.6

RDW High 15.2

C02 low 20

Here is the Urinalysis

urine blood- small

urine leukocytes- small

urine epithelial- 3+ ( I really don't understand anything about this)

urine bacteria- moderate

Hyaline casts- high 6

urine wbc- high 22

So I'm SO worried about all of this. I had to go get the results for the doctors office because the nurse wouldnt tell me anything on the phone. The doctor has ordered more test. Can anyone help me understand any of this???

The test he ordered is Ferritin, Iron, TIBC, and stool for occult blood x2.

I know my iron was ok last month, I gave blood and they checked it. And if it helps I'm 25 years old. Thank you SO much!
