Someone who has a low white blood cell count indicates they have a suppressed immune system. White blood cells work to fight off disease. If somebody has a high red blood cell count, it means they have large count of red blood cells in their system. A high blood cell count can be triggered by various conditions such as heart failure, hypertension, COPD and emphysema.
