Hi, I Have Been Having Elevated Wbc At Around 14
Question: Hi,
I have been having elevated wbc at around 14 since 2018. My neutrophils are elevated and my sed rate and crp is also high. I went to a hematologist and blood cancers were ruled out. I also went to infectious disease specialist and that was also ruled out. I went to an immunologist and autoimmune diseases were ruled out. My complement total (ch50) test also came back high. I don’t have any major symptoms. I generally have stomach issues due to IBS and had mild gastritis in 2016 but all my blood levels were normal then and I was treated for h.pylori in 2015. I also have a lot of back pain. Other than that I seem mostly healthy. My doctor is assuming that there could be a tumor somewhere and is sending me to a Gastroenterologist to investigate further. I did want to get a second opinion to know if this is something I should investigate further and what are the other possibilities of what it could be. I really want answers as I have been dealing with this for 2 years now.

Brief Answer:
Leucocytosis
Detailed Answer:
Dear,
Thanks for sheering your problem and reports. There is increase in your neutrophil count. There is possibility of subacute infection in your GIT leading to this rise. possibly there is deficient iron absorption as well suggesting GIT cause. Looking seriously to your stomach will solve the problem. If possible please share blood peripheral smear examination. report and your serum iron profile report to make more opinions.
