A member asked:
Can inflammation due to miniscus damage and osteoarthritis cause elevated wbc of 13?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There should be no relation between the two. A rising WBC is more indicative of infection and osteoarthritis and meniscus injuries are not associated with infection. Someone obviously ordered this test and there must have been a reason. Speak to the ordering healthcare provider to find out what might be the cause of the elevation.
