Lab must be interpreted within the context of why it was obtained and within the complete report. Simply citing a single number does not give enough information to make a reasoned response. For some it may be fine, others it may represent a change/problem. Discuss it with the doc who ordered it.

All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, if the count has not changed recently, it could be your normal. Some ethnic groups have normally lower WBC count. Visit this:https://academic.oup.com/jnci/article/95/20/1545/2520494
