I am 20 weeks pregnant with my second baby. My age is 38 years. I had normal TLC and ESR during my 1st trimester blood test. Now the TLC is 12700/cumm ESR 34. The report says the WBC count is increased with polymorphonuclear leucocytosis. What does it mean?
Hi, The inference of the blood report is there is some acute inflammation as suggested by the rise in polymorphonuclear leukocytes and ESR. You should get a clinical evaluation by a specialist to localize the source. Sometimes, asymptomatic bacteriuria of pregnancy can also cause such a picture. Culture of urine helps to identify. In such a case, assessment of the renal function is necessary even after delivery. Once the cause is located, appropriate treatment helps to relieve the condition. Hope this helps.
