i agree...see a doctor, rven better go to the ER.

white cells high = infection or some diseases....bleeding where???  How would you know your platelet count is high?  Do you see clots???Are you a hemophiliac?  Do you take factor 8?  Do you mean your clotting times PT/PTT are too high???  not enough info

White blood cell (leukocyte) count.

Not all the bacteria is bad, plus if any of the bad bacteria gets in us, the immune system (the white blood cells) will attack them.

Keep your appt. Low wbc can be a viral infection sometimes and will go away when the virus does-THere are lots of reasons and a high wbc is the sign of infection. Just go to the doctor to be on the safe side. He will probably start out just taking some more blood tests to see if he can find the reason. good luck

antibodies, white blood cells

Could mean that you have low iron levels, anemia. Perhaps, your immune system is compromised, which would account of low white blood cells.  You should further discuss your results with a doctor. Maybe you can start taking an iron supplement.

Leukocytes are more commonly referred to as white blood cells. A high level of white blood cells can mean there is some type of infection in your body that they are trying to eradicate, or in extremely high levels that last for a long time, it can mean leukemia. Hope this helps.

Any person with a low white blood cell count, child or not, indicates there is an infection somewhere.

White blood cells are cells in the blood that fight infection; They are a part of the immune system.\n\nIf you have a 'little hight' white blood cell count, your body is probably fighting an infection. Your doctor is probably sending you to hemotologist to make sure you don't have an undetected infection.

Since there are many forms of leukemias, there are many presentations, symptoms and signs. The most common are fatigue and malaise which usually comes from anemia (low red blood cells). Bruising due to low platelet counts because the bone marrow is putting all of its energy into pumping out white cells rather than platelets.Also it happens because the bone marrow goes haywire and instead of pumping out adequate numbers of red cells, it goes out of control and pumps out millions of white blood cells. There are different kinds of white cells, ie. lymphocytes, neutrophils, monocytes, basophils and eosinophils all having their own ways of controlling infections. Other symptoms are swollen bleeding gums, nose bleeds, tender swollen lymph nodes, chronic sore throats, bone pain, joint aches, fevers (undulating--up and down-up and down), multiple infections, weight loss, loss of appetite, blood in your stools, diarrhea, paleness, headaches. There are many more but these are the biggies. It is very easy to diagnose leukemia. A simple test called a CBC (complete blood count) which shows the number of white blood cells (leukocytes) and their makeup, lymphocytes, neutrophils, etc. can show a highly elevated number of white cells, lymphocytes and neutrophils. If this happens, it is almost always leukemia (the word is derived from latin, "leuko" meaning white and "emia" meaning blood. The doctor will then order whats called a peripheral smear to check the morphology, size, shape and certain internal characteristics of the white blood cells. This is done under a microscope by a trained Pathologist. The quicker you get in to get these simple tests the better off you will fare depending on the type of leukemia is diagnosed. Chemotherapy has come a long way in the last ten years and survival rates have jumped significantly. Bone marrow transplants can be performed and show very promising results in curing certain forms of leukemia.\nMy advice to you is get to your doctor and get a CBC with differential and a peripheral smear.\nI hope this helped answer your question and I hope I didnt scare you. Just wanted to tell you the truth in hopes of encouraging you to get to the doctor right away.\nTo your health.\nWarren Shaffer, M.D.

Leukopenia (or leukocytopenia, or leucopenia) is a decrease in the number of circulating white blood cells (leukocytes) in the blood. As the principal function of white cells is to combat infection, a decrease in the number of these cells can place patients at increased risk for infection\nLeukocytosis is an elevation of the white blood cell count (the leukocyte count) above the normal range. The normal adult human leukocyte count in peripheral blood is 4.4-10.8 x 103/L. A white blood count of 11.0 or more suggests leukocytosis.\n\nLeukocytosis is very common in acutely ill patients. It occurs in response to a wide variety of conditions, including viral, bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infection, cancer, and exposure to certain medications or chemicals. Leukocytosis can also be the first indication of neoplastic growth of leukocytes.

It is the white blood cells that are trying to fight off the infection that create the white gooey stuff that looks like pus.

There are 3 types of blood cells:- \nred blood cells \nwhite blood cells \nplatelets\n\nThese three types of blood cells are mostly manufactured in the bone marrow.\n\nRed blood cells (also called erythrocytes) are shaped like slightly indented, flattened disks. Red blood cells contain an iron-rich protein called hemoglobin. Blood gets its bright red color when hemoglobin in red blood cells picks up oxygen in the lungs.\n\nWhite blood cells (also called leukocytes) are a key part of the body's system for defending itself against infection. They can move in and out of the bloodstream to reach affected tissues. The blood contains far fewer white blood cells than red cells, although the body can increase production of white blood cells to fight infection. They fight germs such as bacteria and viruses and may also attempt to destroy cells that have become infected or have changed into cancer cells. \n\nPlatelets (also called thrombocytes) are tiny oval-shaped cells made in the bone marrow. They help in the clotting process.\n\nU asked what can happen when white blood cells are not enough.. 3 most known diseases:-\n\nNeutropenia -occurs when there aren't enough of a certain type of white blood cell to protect the body against bacterial infections. People who take certain chemotherapy drugs to treat cancer may develop neutropenia. \n\nHIV -a virus that attacks certain types of white blood cells (lymphocytes) that work to fight infection. Infection with the virus can result in AIDS leaving the body prone to infections and certain other diseases.\n\nLeukemia -cancer of the cells that produce white blood cells.\n\nIt is good if you can visit a pharmacist and get advise on the right supplement to take to balance the white blood cells in your blood. Every case/person is unique - so there's no 1 supplement that should work for every person with blood cell disorder.\n\nGood luck.

The blood treats the problem..eg anaemia is lack of quality red bloods cells-> -> blood given, now patient has good quality blood cells, for a short while anyway...;

Vitamin C is still being studied to determine its efficacy, but one study has evidence showing that people who took vitamin C supplements daily for two weeks had an increase in certain white blood cells responsible for fighting viruses. Also there was an improvement in the general environment of the blood that would help to prevent viruses from taking hold. But the why is still unknown so far as I am aware.

Leukopenia(low WBC's)\n\nCan be caused by several reasons.\nSome antibiotics or medications such as radiation.\nViral Infections\nLupus\nAnd sometimes, there is just no cause.If it is dangerously low, have some tests done, to make sure it is something as simple as an infection, because it could be something as dangerous as leukemia
