An abnormally high white blood cell count can indicate infection, inflammation, tissue damage, leukemia or several other things. However, a high white blood cell count is considered normal under certain circumstances - such as during late pregnancy.

If the count is abnormally high, further tests will probably be done and the numbers of each type of white blood cell will be determined. This helps narrow down the possible causes.

There are many different causes for an increased white blood cell count, so it is best to discuss the results with your doctor - they will let you know if it is dangerous, and if any further tests or action needs to be taken.

"Mid percent" likely refers to the percentage of middle-sized white blood cells in your blood, known as monocytes. Abnormalities in the mid percent value may indicate certain medical conditions, so it's important to discuss the results with your healthcare provider for proper interpretation.


How is the Rh factor of blood cells important?

About 85 percent of the people he tested had this protein, and about 15 percent lacked it. Like the A, B, AB, and O blood types, the presence of Rh factor is determined by a marker on the red blood cell. If your blood type is Rh positive, you have the Rh marker. If your blood type is Rh negative, you lack the marker on your cells. If you are Rh negative and ever received Rh positive blood, you would develop Rh clumping proteins in your plasma. This situation is potentially dangerous.
