Question 1

can hemmeroids cause a low wbc?

Accepted Answer

No: But hemorrhoids can cause anemia and low hemoglobin and RBC count.

Question 2

are  wbc high or low in leukimia?

Accepted Answer

Typically high: In most phases of the untreated leukemia , the WBC is extremely high.  Late in the course, when all metabolism slows down  , then the count can drop but then you would be seriously sick.

Question 3

low wbcs do you see a hematologist?

Accepted Answer

Low wbc: First is to repeat the blood work to confirm that low WBC is persistent. If it is significantly very low and especially if the other type of blood counts are also low- like the hemoglobin and/or platelet- then yes, you should see a hematologist. If the level is just very mild and this has not been repeated- your pmd should repeat this and make sure that this isn't lab error or viral infection.

Question 4

what does low wbc and high monocytes mean?

Accepted Answer

Hard to comment: Without the actual numbers. How low? The monocytes may be a relative increase and not absolute. Ie a high percentage of a lower number may be perfectly normal in total number.

Question 5

what is a cause for a low wbc and a high rdw?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, it would have helped if you had provided the actual values. 
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 6

which leukemia type can present with low wbc?

Accepted Answer

See below: T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia can present with leukopenia. Other acute leukemias may also present with low total counts but usually have blastic cells in circulation.

Question 7

7.8, and 4.98 wbc&rbc is this too high or low?

Accepted Answer

No they're fine: if you're having other symptoms something else may need to be checked for you need to have an examination by a doctor.but most doctors would consider those values to be normal.

Question 8

reducing body weight can be a cause of low wbc?

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely: Low wbc, or leukopenia, has very many causes. Weight loss, in and of itself, does not cause leukopenia. However, you can have low wbcs from malnutrition associated with weight loss.

Question 9

how can wbc be low (1.4) and monocytes be high (21%) at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Monocytes aren't...: Really high, just the percent of monocytes. It's like eating one potato chip: it's really salty because the percent of salt is high, but the total amount of salt you get from one chip is small. Hope this makes sense.

Question 10

wbc - 4.1 (range 4.4-11.3) mchc - 36.4 (range 32.0-36.0) is my wbc significantly low?

Accepted Answer

No: It falls within normal range so you should be fine. Follow up with your doctor if you are sick.
