There are usually more RBCs than WBCs. If you have an abnormal increase in WBCs, you have an infection or leukemia (a type of cancer).

Why is the hematocrit value of venous blood slightly more than that of arterial blood?

It might be due to Hamburger's effect( chloride shift). In venous blood, RBC will take up CO2 and CO2 react with water to form carbonic acid ( H2CO3). This acid will then dissociate to form hydrogen ion ( H+) and bicarbonate ion (HCO3-). HCO3- will flow out from RBC and each efflux of HCO3- will be accompanied by influx of Cl-. In some circumstances, some HCO3- and Cl- remain in RBC or maybe the rat eof exchange of HCO3- and Cl- is not the same, and this create water flow into RBC, thus volume of RBC will increase (RBC swells) and hence it's hematocrit value too.
