does having the flu affect your white blood cells
No. Red blood cells are the most common type of blood cell. White blood cell counts only increase if they are fighting against a disease or foreign material or if someone has a cold.
Any infection will increase your white cell count, not just a UTI. Even a cold will raise your count, it is the body's way of fighting infections.
If your white blood cell count was low on your blood screening, there are a full range of possibilities. Are you sick? Then that is why. If you are fighting illness, and not being successful (getting sicker) then your white cell count would be low. If you have a low white blood cell count even when you get a cold or the flu or some other less severe sickness, and you start to get better, then it is possible that you have HIV. HIV results in the lowering of white blood cells. There are also certain medications that lower the white blood cell count. If you want more help, message me!
Many things. It could be related to a short-term illness such as the cold or flu, or it could be linked to a chronic condition like an autoimmune disease. It is best to check with your doctor. Basically your white blood cells are there to fight infection...if you have an increased count, your body is probably fighting something. It is definitely better to have that checked out by a doctor because you never know if it could be something serious.

Cold diuresis occurs when the body experiences cold temperatures, causing blood vessels to constrict and increasing blood pressure, which can lead to an increase in urine production.
white blood cells fight infections
Blood coagulates faster when cold is applied. Cold temperatures cause blood vessels to constrict, reducing blood flow and promoting coagulation. Heat, on the other hand, can increase blood flow and delay the coagulation process.
A leukemia patient can have an infection without a favor or a high white count because of the medications they may be taking. Some infections do not produce a fever. Some medications suppress the white coat.
