White blood cells in stool . doc doing a colonoscopy . why ? what do white cells indicate ? infection ? and where in the body ? bilirubin high .

WBC in stool: Hi, as I told you last time WBC in stool indicates inflammation like infection in bowel or inflammatory diseases like Crohn's dx, trust your doctor, it seems you are on a right track, High Bili has different causes, needs more info to know why, like your liver function test and .... You better trust your doctor. it seems they are giving you a very good care. Good luck.

Inflammation...: The body sends white blood cells to areas of injury and inflammation is part of healing. Infection is one cause of inflammation, but the bowel can be inflamed without infection. Stool WBC's and associated inflammation can come from anywhere in the digestive system. A colon source is most likely, so colonoscopy makes sense. Bilirubin indicates liver dysfunction/blockage or broken RBC's.
