What Does The Report Say?

I had lab test done and the results are the following:
WBC - 14.6 RBC - 4.42 Hgb - 13.6 Hct - 39.5 MPV - 9.7 EOS ABS - 0.4 Neut - 9.1 Lymph - 4.1 ESR - 32
For the last 2 yrs. my WBC has been high, and I'm concern with Leukemia. What can this mean? Thank you for your answer.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
The interpretation of blood test report is as follows:
The red blood cell count of 4.42 million per cubic millimeter is within normal limits.
Hemoglobin of 13.6, hematocrit of 39.5, mean platelet volume (MPV) of 9.7 are within normal limit.
The white blood cell count of 14,600 per cubic millimeter and neutrophil count of over 9000 is suggestive of bacterial infection.
Leukemia is characterized by very high white blood cell count and presence of immature cells or blasts on peripheral blood film.
Thus, features are not suggestive of leukemia.

You need to consult your doctor to look for evidence of infection.

Thanks and take care
