Question 1

My white blood cell count is 11.9, is that bad?

Accepted Answer

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, your count is on the high end or normal. It is not bad in itself.
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 2

My white blood cell count is 11.7, what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

White blood cells (or leukocytes) are cells of the immune system that defend the body against infection and foreign bodies.  The reference range (normally) is between 4.1 - 10.9 x10^3.  Your value is very slightly elevated which usually means you're fighting an infection.  Hope that helps!

Question 3

I check my cbc test & my white blood cell count was 11.0 is that high normal or high or low?

Accepted Answer

Your white count is slightly high. A high white count (leukocytosis) can be caused by many different things, most commonly an infection. Some people have high white cells due to a medication they are taking. Others are born with it. Others develop it because of dangerous conditions such as leukemia. Please consult with a hematologist to determine what form of leukocytosis you have.

Question 4

My white blood cell count is 11 en the differential is normal. should i be worried? my red blood cells and plates are normal as well. thank you

Accepted Answer

A WBC count of 11 is within normal limits. If you do not have any symptoms, there is no need to worry. It may be your normal. 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 or alcohol in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 5

I went to the er and they told me my white blood cell count was 11.6 and had a odd shape to them referred me to an oncologist?

Accepted Answer

You didn't say what symptoms caused you to  seek emergency care in the first place, and that's a very important piece of information.  Your white count is slightly elevated, which can come from infection, inflammation, medications, or bone marrow issues.  If the er physician wanted you to see a hematologist-oncologist about odd-looking white cells, please do follow up! http://tinyurl.Com/kjexnvy.

Question 6

I got lab results back that show my monocytes were low (3.5), my neutrophils are 7.5 and my white blood cell count was 11. what could this mean?

Accepted Answer

Without any context as to why the labs were drawn, can only comment that there is some variability in the relative levels of specific white blood cells from lab draw to lab draw.  In the context of certain symptoms, the lab could be meaningful/helpful, but I would expect the monocytes to be stable or within the "normal range" the next time this is checked.

Question 7

My white blood cell count shows 11.32
10^3/ul 
is that normal? if not what is the cause

Accepted Answer

How do you FEEL? Reference ranges are set so that a few percent of healthies fall outside on either end. This is worrisome if, and only if, you feel sick or there are abnormally-shaped white cells. After a cold swim, the white count may rise as high as 20,000. Best wishes.

Question 8

Ref. range 4.0-11.0. my white blood cell count was 11.8. how likely is leukemia? i had a sinus infection and abd rash at the time.

Accepted Answer

A WBC count of 11.8, in the presence of infection is no reason to worry about leukemia. If your infection does not clear up in a week or so, or if you have abnormal bleeding, or a new infection, then please consult your doctor.

Question 9

My white blood cell count was 6.25... is this normal or low? is it okay to take prednisone for poison ivy with this wbc count?

Accepted Answer

Normal WBC. I trust lymphocyte and neutrophil counts were fine also. Take the prenisone for the poison ivy only if it's so bad you can't sleep otherwise. We're glad to help.

Question 10

My results say i have a value of 11.77 (white blood cell count) from a range of 4.16-9.95 and flag "h." should i worry?

Accepted Answer

A mnor illness, cold shower, or "unknown factors" can raise your white count. Reference ranges are set so that a few percent of healthies fall outside on either side. If you feel okay and the cells are normally formed, don't fret about it.
