Question 1

what does 5 wbcs/hpf mean?

Accepted Answer

Depends: 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,  if you mean in urine results, it is suggestive of infection. Specifically it means that five white blood cells were seen in each high power field of the microscope.

Question 2

i just had my urinalysis and my wbc is 40-50 /hpf. what is the meaning of this?

Accepted Answer

Elevated WBC's: You have more white blood cells than you should in your urine.  This usually is associated with a urinary track infection.  Speak with your doctor.

Question 3

is wbc 3.68 normal?

Accepted Answer

In most labs: The lower end of "normal" is 4. The normal range is just that, a range. A WBC of 3.68 may be perfectly normal for you, but depending on the hgb, platelets and the differential could also be indicative of illness. Talk to the ordering physician about your result.

Question 4

is a wbc of 15.5 high?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, a WBC of 15.5 is high.  Normal range for WBC is 4.5 -10

Question 5

is a wbc of 26,000 bad?

Accepted Answer

Depends.: This may be normal response to infection or even medications, but could also represent something bad.  There is no way to tell with such limited info. Need to look at the rest of the numbers RBC / platelets / etc.

Question 6

how bad is a wbc of 1.7?

Accepted Answer

Not great: It really depends on the context. However it is never a really good finding. Please see your doctor.

Question 7

what's causes wbc of 0.6?

Accepted Answer

Leukopenia: Multiple reasons varying from viral process to something serious, needs to be checked out by hematologist asap.

Question 8

is 10.2 a normal wbc level?

Accepted Answer

Normal ranges: A quality laboratory establishes and reports the normal range for every test they perform to allow for better interpretation. Since these ranges are intended to reflect the population they serve and the methods used there are some differences between labs. Ask for the range from your lab and what their reference population was to be sure you match.

Question 9

what if count of wbc is 3.4?

Accepted Answer

Consult your doctor: Wbc of 3.4 is below the normal lower limit and you should consult your doctor for an evaluation.

Question 10

is a 3.0 wbc considered low?

Accepted Answer

: That is an abnormal white blood count(under 5000)I would like to know the results of the entire CBC including red cells, differential &amp; platelet counts. Low wbc alone can be due to viral infections, bone marrow pathology and autoimmune disease. A hematologist is best to evaluate and advise you. I have seen a number of benign causes of low wbc and and these were predominantly females interestingly
