This is a question for the medical professionals out there, guesses on causes for high WBC?

The link I'm providing is a study titled, "Type 2 Diabetes: An Inflammatory Disease Process? Clinical and Physiological Links Between Diabetes and Heart Disease." \n\n"In a large seven year study, for which over 12,000 patients were screened, cardiovascular risk was demonstrated to be associated with an elevated white blood cell count (WBC) ..."\n\nI'm not a doctor, nor am I suggesting you may have heart disease, but the study is an interesting read, nonetheless.\n\nI hope you find the answer you're looking for.  Good luck!

Computer Graphics? Blood? Zombie remedy? I wouldn't have a clue otherwise. Sorry if my answer displeases you. :)

What causes a low white blood cell count?\nNo name / No state\n\nA white blood cell count is a blood test typically done as part of a complete blood count (CBC). White blood cells help fight infection in your body. A low count (leukopenia) may mean that you have reduced numbers of one or more types of white blood cells. These types include neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, basophils and eosinophils.\n\nPossible causes of a low white blood cell count include:\n\nInfection, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) \nCertain medications, especially those used in chemotherapy \nBone marrow disease, such as leukemia or myelodysplasia \nA mild decrease typically doesn't indicate serious illness. It often resolves without leading to infection. A dangerously low white blood cell count increases the risk of serious infection.\n\nWhat could cause a high white blood cell count?\nInfection \nCertain medications, such as corticosteroids, antibiotics or anti-seizure drugs \nSevere physical or emotional stress \nChronic bone marrow diseases such as a myeloproliferative disorder \nAcute or chronic leukemia \nA high white count doesn't identify a specific problem. Instead, it may indicate an underlying condition and should be evaluated by your doctor.

smartassawhip is right go see a doc don't get anxious untill you actually have something to be anxious about. \ncertain medications, chronic infection even a recent one, and even certain foods will lower you WBC. thesea re common things. \nPeople that say oh my gosh it could be HIV do not know what they are talking about. Your CD4+ and  your viral load have to do with it. and your T4s are part of that.\nSo Yes your WBC has something to do with it a low one is not immediately indicative of HIV or other disorders like leukemia. Especially if you have none of the risk factors. Blood in your mouth sounds like gingervitis or somethings or you sleep with yoru mouth open and it gets dry. happens to me too.\nSee a doc and sooth yoru fears whan you ask people on the internet the problem is that the people on the internet look stuff up and misinterpret things. and you cannot verify any credentials.\nSo make an appointment or have your parents make an appointment.\nSeems you have seen them already with yoru lab test there so you should make a follow up and ask about teh results. More then likely a doc isn't going to let you continue to worry about it they will do more tests.

Hi There, I'm not a doctor so I can't diagnose, I can suggest a few things though.  Has your doctor ran blood tests to rule out thyroid, anemia, infections, etc?  How has your blood pressure been?  Do you take any medicines? There are so many things that can cause those symptoms, so I'd say rule out anything they can with blood work, watch your blood pressure, get a chest and sinus xray, and get your ears checked out, heart tests, and if none of that shows anything, maybe allergy tests.  If all those are negative, it could be stress, or something like fibromyalgia.  They really need to do more of a evaluation on you.  Have you been exposed to anything last October maybe at school?  paint fumes? any building remodeling?

A lymphocyte is a type of white blood cell.  Maybe that's what he meant?  8100 is quite high if that's what he's referring to, but you also have to look at it in relation to the other types of white blood cells.  For instance, was your absolute neutrophil count in normal range?

You gave very little info so this is only a guess.\n\nMaybe this patient had some kind of hypersensitivity reaction.\n\nNot sure.

Well, Bubbles, it means many things, but I need more information to give you a diagnosis. It might be an infection. What kind of WBCs are elevated in the differential ? What are you feeling ?\nMy personal recommendation is go to see a doctor with license

High WBC count means your body is fighting an infection.  Those are your immune cells and they are in high numbers because you are sick and they are trying to fight it off.

if endometriosis has to do with the lining of the uterus i get that part, but i wouldn't know why there is a high WBC\n(whitebloodcell) count.  if endometriosis is bad howeve, then having lots of WBC's sounds like the infection, if thats what it is, is going away.\n    the only other thing i think endometriosis is, might be regarding ones menstration perhaps?

It sounds as though you might be immuno-compromised for some reason.  Old age, morbid obesity, under weight, smoking, alcohol or drug use, certain medications, certain medical conditions among other things can be responsible.  I'd be willing to bet there are at least two things above that apply to you.  If the circumstances above can't be changed, then prevention is your only other option.  It might be worth discussing using a surgical type scrub for routine washing.  Talk with you doctor about it.

There could be any number of reasons for this, from the physical to the physiological to the psychological.  Please please PLEASE go see your doctor as soon as possible.

There are different kinds of WBC's (neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, etc) and they each do something specific however their major role is to mount an attack on invading microorganisms to limit the spread of an infection.

Cause? Could be lack of oxygen due to lung damage. Could be from fever. Don't know if I understand your question.

A high white cell count could be due to an infection,

Hereditary and congenital disorders.  Also drugs, penicillin can cause leukopenia which is this medical term for low white blood cells.  Chemotherapy also.  Stay in touch with doctors you need to find out cause not guess.
