NO! YOU ARE OK: Positive ANA means you have some kind of collagen disease but not specific. Correlate with other SX.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Wide range: This varies widely both with age (day 1 vs 1wk vs 1m) & situation, stress vs non stress. The published range from birth to 2y is 31-68%.

Question 3

well my baby is 12 days old and the doc told me that she has a low white blood cells count is that dangerious but my baby is just normal.?

Accepted Answer

Variable: White cell counts in normal infants @2wks vary on standard reporting from 5, 000-20, 000 with an average of 11, 000. You don't mention your numbers but lower normal or upper normal are just variations of normal. If the dr didn't send you off for additional testing i would assume things are ok.

Question 4

hi, my 3 month old baby stool test results shown puss cell 1 to 3 hpf and rbc 3 to 5hpf,mucus is there and showing occult blood positive, is it to be worried about? thank you?

Question 5

my brothers 30 & his reticulocyte count is 105.40 and his white blood cells count is very high 23.35 he had pain & weakness in body.what could it be?

Reticulocytes: Hemolytic anemia would be one cause of high reticulocyte count. If WBC count high some type of myelogenous process could be possible.

Question 6

my white blood cells count was 2.8 and today its 2.5, seems to be going down for some reason. cause for concern? no symptoms, healthy. all other labs normal?

Accepted Answer

: A differential of the WBC would be helpful to know if a particular white cell is decreased. You should see a hematologist for an evaluation to be certain you do not have a particular deficiency that would need to be monitored and/or put you at risk for certain infections. Good luck!

Question 7

can sjogrens cause elevated labs in terms of  low white blood cells. i read somewhere where it said this is a autoimmune disorder and that can factor.  i just was curious and trying see what i can do besides being told do to my race its normal. ?

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. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, it would have helped had provided the actual WBC count. Africa Americans do normally have lower WBC count.

Question 8

can you clone white blood cells?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: A bone marrow transplant is essentially collecting the stem cells that grow into white cells red cells and platelets and then giving them to a recipient where the cells grow out into a new source of blood.   That is in essence cloning white cells.

Question 9

what does white blood cells mean if 18000?

Accepted Answer

A bit high: White blood cells roll along the sides of the blood vessels and release into the bloodstream if inflammatory signals occur (infection, injury, autoimmune disease, etc).  It is usually transient and returns to normal as the inflammatory environment becomes quenched.  The count usually must be higher and persist for longer (and is associated with telltale symptoms) before considering cancer or other

Question 10

is bad to have too many white blood cells?

Accepted Answer

Infection?: It depends on the underlying cause, such as infection.  I assume you had a blood test done to assess a problem, so your physician will be able to discuss the findings and plan with you.
