I don't know what amount of blood you are measuring from, but the average amount of white blood cells per cubic millimeter of blood is between 2,000 and 7,500.
is 12.1 very high for your white blood count
Of course it is! You should see a doctor if this was you!!
A white blood cell count of 30,000 is way too high. A normal count is between 4,000 and 10,000. Your doctor will likely run more tests to determine why your count is so high.
A white blood cell count of 37,000 is too high. Your child's reason for having that white blood cell count may not have been serious enough to be hospitalization. A high count can be caused by infections, anemia, stress, and burns.
too much of white blood cells doesn't always mean a good thing. A high white blood cell count (also called leukocytosis) isn't a specific disease but could indicate an underlying problem. This is why high white blood cell count always requires further medical evaluation.
The white blood cells are the blood cells in your body that consist of your immune system. If your white blood count is too low, it will be hard for you to fight infections.
Normal count is 7000 to 10000 in 1mm3 of blood.
I was told it meant too numerous to count
A white blood cell count of 13,000 white blood cells per cubic millimeter is above the normal range for an adult male and indicates that there is an infection in the body. Something very serious like cancer or other less serious infections such as bronchitis could cause this increase in white blood cells. Many of these infections are brought about by tobacco use. Since it is common for a tobacco user to get these types of infections, their white blood cell count may often be high.
estimates the total number of white blood cells per litre of blood. An abnormal high or low white cell count can indicate many possible medical conditions and a leucocyte differential count, which provides numbers of the different types of white cells, is usually needed to help make any diagnosis. Abnormally low numbers of white blood cells may indicate liver or spleen disorders, bone marrow disorders, or exposure to radiation or toxic substances. Abnormally high levels of white blood cells may indicate infection, tissue damage, leukaemia, or inflammatory diseases. The normal white cell count for adults is 4.0-10.0 x 109/L.
Yes maybe it was 29000 which is high.
This is infact a low White Bloodcell Count. It means you have low white blood cell in your blood. If this gets too low you might want to inform your doctor.
WBC stands for White Blood Cells. The count refers to the number of white blood cells in the body. In general, the lower the number of cells below normal the less able you are to fight infection. When the number rises above normal, that usually means you are busy fighting an infection. There are sub-types of white blood cells, too, each of which can rise and fall for various reasons. White Blood Count Is a result of 2.9 L x10^3/uL normal for a white blood cell test?
Do you eat a lot of licorice? Too much licorice ( especially the pure licorice candies) can lower your potassium level which in turn effects your white blood count.
