A member asked:
I have a high wbc of 14.3. also been having leg pain in both legs. is that high enough to be possible leukemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
WBC: Your count is only mildly elevated. The WBC count alone could be related to leukemia, BUT the vast majority of patients have a distinct clinical picture AND marked abnormalities of the other components of the complete blood count.
