It means you have more white cells than normal. By the way, the usual term is "elevated" rather than "raised", and the condition is called leukocytosis.
Leukocytosis is not a disease in itself, though it's usually an indicator of some kind of disorder. It could be a simple infection, or it could be something more serious. There are several types of white cells, and the one that's predominantly responsible for the high count tells your physician more about what the possible underlying cause might be.
