NO, just because you have an increased WBC count doesn't mean you have leukemia. There are other things in the blood work that would need to be looked at to say for sure. Things like platelet counts, when the tech did a differental did they see blasts or inmature WBC's. Have you been sick? Fever, sore throat, difficulty breathing, bruising easy? There are a lot of things that need to be looked at before the Dr says if it is or is not leukemia.
A white blood cell count of 22000 mm3 is an elevation of white blood cells. This elevation of white blood cells could indicate infection or leukemia. When a test is not within normal limits, consult a physician as soon as possible.
WBC count of 56,000 Means you have chronic lymphocytic leukemia
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.
