Hi, my white blood cell level is high(12). It is supposed to be between 4-10. My red blood cell level and hemoglobin level is normal. Will there any problems due to the high level of my white blood cell and is there any remedy or treatment for my ailment? Thank You
HiT hanks for your query. Based on your query and reports am of the following opinion.1. High WBC count is usually due to infections-bacterial/ viral/ parasitic.2. Other causes being leukemia, leukemia reaction.3. Since your count is high, infections need to be ruled out. If you are having any symptoms related to airways/ GIT/ urinary tract, antibiotics can be started.4. If asymptomatic no need to panic, get a peripheral smear examination done to check for abnormal cells if any. Hope this helpsRegards
