Sickle cell
If white blood cell count is high that means the body is responding to an infection.
yes.And the white blood cell will count very high due to the infection of apendicsus.
For adults, a high white blood cell count is 10,500 leukocytes per microliter of blood. Average white blood cell count is 4,500 to 10,500.
i have a white cell count of 13.7 is this high This is above the normal range.
No!
Having a partially torn tendon in your arm can definitely cause your white blood cell count to be a little high. White blood cell counts are high when there is infection or irritation in the body.
Depends on what type
YES
high
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.
Many things can cause a high WBC count. One of which is infection. WBCs fight foreign bodies in our system that's why if there are viruses, they would increase in count. It's part of the body's defense system. Another possible reason is if there are abnormalities in the blood producing organs of the body. For instance, with Leukemia, there is an abnormally high production of WBC.
