A member asked:
50+ days ago went to er w/ kidney stone. cbc showed elevated wbc. er & pcp doctor were not concerned. is this normal? makes me nervous about cancer.

Many things elevate : The white cell count is elevated in response to many things including pain associated with a kidney stone. If the elevation was mild to moderate and the distribution of white cells was the expected distribution, then there is nothing to worry about. If it was severely elevated and with an unusual distribution of the different types of white cells then there is something to worry about.
