What Causes Persistent Elevation In White Blood Count Levels?
I have been told that my white blood ount is or has been a little elevated and went to see a hematologist and he has orderd=ed more tests to be done. I have numerous medical problems but at least for the past year my tests keep showing elevated white blood counts. the doctor yesterday showed many blood test results and the white blood also seem to be up and down. the doctor said that he did not see an y leukemia at all and the kidneys also seem to be good and other things also seem to be good also. So my question is perhaps you might be able to tell me a little more for now. thank you so much for your assistance.

there are several causes of increased wbc count the most common are inflammatory diseases and infections.you have not shared your numerous other medical problems. any how this variation seems to be harmless and may be seen when body fails to eliminate the wbc to normal values.any how doesnt sound dangerous to me. you have to tell your age too.
