A member asked:
Can prednisone cause high wbc count. esp neutrophils at 9.6 k/ul and true lymphocytes at 4.5 k/ul? wbc at 15k/ul. is this mild or moderate elevation
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prednisone: often causes an elevation in the neuts. If anything lymphs tend to be on the low side. Upper limit of normal WBC is about 10.5. So 15 is a mild increase
