A member asked:
I recently had a fasting blood test and was told i had a low white blood cell count. i also had a vitamin d deficiency. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See answer: A low white blood cell count(leukopenia) may or may not be significant. People of African ancestry can normally have a reduced WBC. A diet deficient in Vitamin D and/or lack adequate exposure to sunlight can lead to Vitamin D deficiency. Taking Vitamin D3 600-800 units daily is recommended. Higher doses may be needed. Check with you Dr. For information of Vit D deficiency > http://bit.ly/1WFSAh0
