A member asked:

I have slightly elevated wbc consisting of high lymphocytes as well as high neutrophils for two cbc tests taken about a month apart. what can this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

How do you FEEL?: Unless the absolute neutrophil count and/or the absolute lymphocyte count are quite far from their respective reference ranges, or abnormal cells are present, it means nothing. I've shot my neuts to almost 20,000 by taking a cold swim. The ranges are set so that several percent of healthy folks fall outside, and counts fluctuate wildly even hour-to-hour. Stop worrying and focus on fitness. Cheers.
