29/m  going in for cranial cavernoma surgery soon. got a call from a doc after my preop appt and they were asking me if i had any sores that were not healing or if i felt sick a lot. they said my total wbc count is at 12.8. been high for a few months now. they arent telling me anything, but from what I read its rare to have all 5 types elevated at once, especially for an extended period? any help?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some infection or there may be normal variation in some person to have high total WBC count. Please send me your differential count report so that I can help you further. If you have chronic infection then it is possible to have persistent high WBC count. You should also go for peripheral smear examination to know the morphology of cells. Then you should take treatment according to diagnosis. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health
