I am not sure about the red blood cells, but white blood cell counts can be elevated by infections, cancers and the like, when white blood cells are created and deployed to try and combat the infection or cancer. One example is appendicitis. One true fire way besides poking the patient's side constantly to find out what's up, is to test the blood and if elevated white blood cells are found, then the symptoms will be matched up and so on.
