Explanation Of Blood Check Results With High Leukocyte Levels?

Hello Matt,

Thank you for the question.

White blood cells (leukocytes) play an important role in the immune system because they are able to ward off infections and mediate allergic reactions. There are many types of leukocytes with different normal functions and values. By checking this leukocyte count, you can get an idea of ​​what a person's health status is.

Judging from your information, indeed your white blood cell levels have increased. Meanwhile, if the results of the type of count are evaluated, it does not appear to be a significant increase (only neutrophil segments are slightly increased). Your condition is likely to refer to an infection, especially a bacterial infection. In addition, your condition can also be caused by inflammatory disorders, injury, post-surgery, stress, smoking, excessive exercise, the influence of drugs, and so on.

To be clear, ideally you need to consult this matter directly with your doctor or internist who examines you to be compared with the clinical symptoms that appear and other investigations carried out. That way, the doctor can decide the best treatment steps that need to be done.

Hope this helps ...
