A member asked:

My wbc value is 13, 800 and platelet count is 3.4. does this cause any problem?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Why?: Your WBC count is elevated. There is usually a reason for this. The platelet count doesn't make sense. It is usually expressed in thousands, such as 250, 000. Normal is about 150, 000-450, 000. Speak with your doctor about why your WBC count is high.
