It can mean several things. This is a question best discussed with a physician since it depends on parts of your medical history to know if a value is high normal or abnormally high.

i have a white cell count of 13.7 is this high This is above the normal range.
A high blood cell count that might indicate a bacterial infection is referring to white blood cells specifically. If a bacterial infection is present in the body, the immune system releases into the blood stream additional white blood cells to respond to the threat. A high count of these additional immune cells will then indicate that there is a bacterial presence to which the body is responding.
A blood test can detect a high number of white blood cells. Having a high number of white blood cells means that there is an infection somewhere in the body. Doctors then use antibiotics to fight the infection.
Leukocytes are white blood cells. Your body uses white blood cells to fight infection so if you have high levels of leukocytes it might indicate that you have an infection. In leukemia, these cells become cancerous.
Diseases including liver and kidney disease increase the white blood cells in cats. A high white blood count can indicate a serious problem.
The number of RBC will increase
Polys are short for polymorphonuclear leukocytes also known as neutrophils. When someone has a blood test to test their differential white blood cell count and they results indicate high polys that the white blood cell count is high. White blood cells fight infection.
If no bacteria are present in the urine, a high red and while cell count probably indicates a kidney stone. Blood is leaking into the urine from the kidneys, and blood contains blood cells.
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.
No, unless the number of red blood cells is very low.
There are normally between 4×10 and 1.1×10 white blood cells in a liter of blood, and ranging from 7 and 21 microns in diameter, they make up approximately 1% of blood in a healthy adult. An increase in the number of leukocytes over the upper limits is called leukocytosis, and a decrease below the lower limit is called leukopenia.
