Hello doctor, I am 22 years old female, weight 52 kg, height 5'4". I have randomly done my CBC, WBC is 11800 cells/cumm but my differential count is normal, hemoglobin is 13.8 g /dL. RBC is 4.64 mill/cumm (normocytic normochromic) platelets are 2.73 lakhs/cumm. Do I have blood cancer? I am in depression for two months, visited eight doctors regarding this and I feel I have symptoms of it after googling about leukemia. However, I used to do an excessive workout for one and a half hour and now, have stopped going to the gym. I feel I have knee pain and no health issues earlier.
Hello. No, it is not leukemia. Mild elevation of WBC is seen in infection, may be symptomatic or asymptomatic, or sometimes this is normal for some individuals. So, there is no indication of leukemia in this report (attachment removed to protect patient identity). In leukemia, the count is much higher say, 40 to 50 thousand. Also, other symptoms of leukemia should be present like fever, weight loss, lumps in axilla or groin (large). So, you should get it repeated once to look for normalization of the count.
