A member asked:
High wbc count on immunosuppression could it mean cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: High white blood cells after transplant could be from possible use of steroids which might be given to prevent infection. But you should consult with your doctor or a hematologist to make sure the high number is not from an infection because of the immune suppressive medication you are on or malignancy.
