A high macrophage count can be caused by various factors, including chronic inflammation, infection, and tissue injury. In response to pathogens or damaged tissues, the body signals for increased macrophage recruitment to help with immune defense and repair processes. Additionally, certain diseases, such as cancer or autoimmune disorders, can lead to an elevated macrophage presence as part of the altered immune response. Environmental factors, like exposure to pollutants, may also contribute to increased macrophage activity.
