Why are white blood cells in a stained blood smear usually counted at low power under a microscope?

Due to the limited field of vision of microscopes, it is comparatively easier to count the number of white blood cells in a stained blood smear under low power than under high magnification. Although the individual cells would be smaller and thus more difficult to count, there would be more in view at any given time.


Would a blood count of 600 constitute cancer?

If this number is for a white blood cell count, then it may indicate cancer of the blood or bone marrow, or cancer that has metastasized somewhere in the body. The normal blood count for white blood cells is between 3,500 and 10,500. A count below 1000 is cause for concern.


What would a White blood cell count of 35000 mean?

A white blood cell count of 35,000 is higher than normal and may suggest an infection, inflammation, or other underlying medical conditions. Further evaluation, including a detailed medical history, physical examination, and additional tests, would be needed to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.


Your doctor told you that your white blood cells are high and that if they don't go down I won't be able to have back surgery so what does the high white blood count have to do with you having surgery?

Surgery will only be a more invasive attack on the white blood cell count as it will require more to handle the "attack" of the surgery. If your body has an insufficient amount of white blood cells to combat the possible bacterial count introduced by surgery, you can incur healing problems and health problems because of the procedure. It is safer to wait until the WBC count gets lower for a safer surgical result. It would be equivalent of a football game of where you had only 11 players and the other team had hundreds of players, meaning you would probably lose that battle.


How many white blood cell are there for every 600 to 800 red blood cell?

There are 500 white blood cells to every 1000 red blood cells (or you could say there is double the amount of red blood cells). The answer would be 200 red blood cells for every 100 white blood cells.

What does a white blood cell count of 40000 mean?

A normal white blood cell count is within the range of 4,500 to 10,000 cells/mcL, so a count of 40,000 is very high. This would indicate that the body is responding to an infection.


Why would such a count for white blood cells be helpful?

What does a white blood cell count of 10.6 mean?

A white blood cell count of 10.6 x 10^9 cells per liter is slightly elevated, as the normal range is typically between 4.5 to 11.0 x 10^9 cells per liter. This could indicate an infection, inflammation, or other immune system response in the body. Further evaluation, including a differential white blood cell count and assessment of clinical symptoms, would be necessary to determine the specific cause of the elevated white blood cell count.


What could be the cause of a low white blood count and a low red blood count?

You should probably see a doctor.........White blood cells and cells that fight infection are the same thing........You might have a skin disease Also, a high white blood cell count means that your body is fighting an infection somewhere internally, or in your case, possibley externally.
