A WBC count that is more than the maximum normal limit of 10,800 (10.8) is considered to be an indication of leukocytosis. Leukocytosis is just a medical term for high white count.
Any infection, inflammation or allergy can serve as an indicator of high white blood cell count symptoms. The doctors will have to do more tests to narrow the reasons. Most likely it is an infection somewhere in the body.
If white blood cell count is high that means the body is responding to an infection.
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?
No, because if you are allergic the eosinophil is up while if you have a high white cell count means that you have an infection.
High segs on a blood test is an elevated neutrophil count. It means that a bacterial infection is present in your body. High abs means you have an elevated white blood cell count and infection or leukemia is present.
A white blood cell count of 11.9 indicates an extremely low blood cell count. This means that your body doesn't have enough natural antibodies to fight infection.
Yes. The higher white blood cell count means your body is fighting an infection which can cause a delay.
The normal range for this blood count is between 4500 to 10,000 white blood cells per microliter. A white blood cell count that is above this range can indicate a medical problem, such as leukemia, ovarian cancer, and sepsis.
it means at this time you white blood cell count is normal
Assuming you are referring to a CSF count and not a blood test, it means you likely have no infection. A normal CSF white count ranges from 0-5, varying from person to person, a higher number likely means you have an infection causing a high white count. One is a perfectly normal number (assuming you are healthy, in most cases) and should be of no cause for alarm. However if you took a blood test and your white count is one, get to a clean room and settle your affairs.
C-Reactive Protien is the indicator for infection within the body. The best possible CRP count is 0 (indicating no infection) however, blood tests normally come back with a 'less than one' reading in these cases, and that is great too. The lower the reading the better really.... but obviously a high CRP count probably means you need antibiotics
Increased numbers of white blood cells in urine are usually a sign of a urinary tract infection or other renal diseases. White blood cells are a normal component in the secretions of the male and female genital tracts and can be present in normal urine with concentrations of 0 to 8 cells per high-power field. Some laboratories culture urine with >5 white blood cells per high-power field to rule out a urinary tract infection.
A low white blood cell count is of concern and your vet should be looking into it further. A high white blood cell means that your horse is fighting infection.
