Will The White Blood Cell Increase During Chronic Pancreatitis Pain?
Hello, I ve had cholydocal cyst removed during preteen yrs, am now 42... Have had reconstructive surgery on my bile duct, and was diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis in my early twenties, and have had chronic pain all my life with and without white blood cell count elevation .... my question would be - is there always white blood cell increase (if I m saying that right?) during pain involving pancreas?....
Welcome to healthcare magic forum! Increase in white blood cells happens when any problem, such as infection, stress, inflammation, trauma, allergy, or certain diseases is present in the body. That’s why a high white blood cell count usually requires further investigation.
Chronic Pancreatitis is a chronic inflammation of the pancreas which results in pain but this may not be directly related to the increase in white blood cell count. Since pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas white blood cells may increase.
