What do you suggest if my son was diagnosed with cidp 7 years ago and now has a white blood cell count over 25 is this related?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not Likely: CIDP is certainly a scary, painful, and difficult disease to get through, but it is caused by your body attacking the lining of the nerves with antibodies. Elevated WBC counts can be from anything like illness to leukemia. If the WBC count id 25,000 persistently the more testing needs to be done, but if it went up to 25K during an illness and then was normal again don't worry.
