my partner saw a doctor for a urinary tract infection and had a blood test done at the time. His results have since come back and he has been told to return for more tests due to a high white cell count. is his white cell count due to the infection he had at the time of the blood test or could it be somthing else. There is a history of leukimia in his family with his mother passing away from multiple miloma
Hello, I have gone through your query and understand your concern. As he has urinary tract infection, it may be the cause for his elevated white blood cell count in blood test. But it is too confirmed by routine urinalysis. If the urinalysis is negative and no symptoms suggestive of urinary tract infection, then he needs further evaluation for leukemia like blood smear study and bone marrow aspiration etc. Because genetic factors play an important role in any type of cancer. Hope this helps. Please write back for further queries. Wishing you good health.
