A member asked:
What are some reasons for wbc to be high and you feel perfectly normal, for you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There are many: An elevated WBC can be an indicator of infection, inflammation or in some cases leukemia or a pre-leukemic state. Based on the underlying type of cells that make up the elevated white blood count combined with the clinical situation should allow your doctor to tell you what some of the possibilities are.
