A member asked:
M58, normally my wbc count 5.2, when in er with intestinal obstruction possibly at hernia it came 7.6. what does this suggest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing specific.: Variation in WBC counts of that magnitude can occur entirely by chance. Of course in your case it might have been related to your underlying condition through either early inflammation or release of stress hormones.
