A member asked:
Is white blood count 7.2 normal ? what value is considered abnormal ?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Normal Values: Normal values are set based on age and specific labs. That said, 7.2 WBC is generally right in the midrange of normal for total WBC's. Generally, for adults, a WBC count of 5.0 to 10.0 is normal. Doctors often look at not just the total number of WBC's but also what type and how many of each type fo WBC a person has in the blood. The two together help determine "normal" vs "abnormal".

Total WBC: That's fine. Why do you ask? 7.2 x 10 to the 9th per liter is right in the middle; a good reference range is 4 - 11.

Normal white ct: 7.2 is normal. Anything above 10 with infectious signs (fever, urinary symptoms, cough with sputum, purulent discharge) is due to infection. However, it can also be increased in times of injury, inflammation, stress, blood diseases, and certain medications. Hope thats helpful.
