Hard one: Unfortunately, based on the limited info you presented, it is essentially impossible to suggest anything. The WBC of 11.3 is only minimally elevated. Anc of 8916 is ok, but knowing the differential may help. Tibc without other iron studies provides very little insigh. The # itself appears elevated. An ESR of 28 is mildly increased but provides little info. Uric acid is high - gout is to be r/out.
