A member asked:
What will dr do if patient has a high wbc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: White blood cells circulate in the bloodstream to help fight infections. Very high or very low levels can be due to infections, although there are other causes such as cancer. It greatly depends on what your doctor is looking for. A level that is only slightly high sometimes does not mean much.
