A member asked:

What does a cbc test mean if the results come back with high wbc and midly low rbc?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Gurmukh Singh answered

What are the results: Lab results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and your doctor who ordered the test is in the best position to do that.
