What is the reason for high white blood cell count? Is there inflammation in the body?

If the white blood cell count is high, it means that there is inflammation in our body. The most common one is fever caused by bacterial infection. If the white blood cell count is high for a long time, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time, and you should find out the cause of the high white blood cell count so as to treat the disease symptomatically.

1. What is the cause of high white blood cell count?

White blood cells have an important defensive function in the human body. They are produced by the bone marrow and then circulate in the blood and tissues and organs to perform patrol and defense tasks. Generally speaking, the normal value of the number of white blood cells in human blood is 4,000-11,000/

mm3, so when it is higher than 10,000-11,000/mm3, it is called high white blood cell count.

White blood cell count may increase due to infection, inflammation, allergy, tumor, autoimmune disease, tissue necrosis, physical stimulation, emotional response or the influence of drugs. There are many types of white blood cells, including neutrophils, eosinophils, alkaliphils, lymphocytes, monocytes, etc. Different causes lead to an increase in different types of white blood cells. If there is an increase in white blood cells, further examination of the white blood cell classification and investigation of the cause is required.

The normal blood sugar level for adults is 4000~10000/μL, for newborns is 15000~20000/μL, and for infants aged 6 months to 2 years is 11000~12000/μL. * Raised:

Various cell infections, inflammation, severe burns. Leukemia should be excluded when the level is significantly elevated. Reduced: leukopenia, hypersplenism, hematopoietic dysfunction, bone marrow suppression caused by radiation, drugs, chemical toxins, malaria, typhoid, viral infection, paratyphoid.

*Leukocytosis is common in inflammatory infections, bleeding, poisoning, leukemia, etc. Its reduction is common in viral infectious diseases such as influenza and measles, severe sepsis, drugs or radiation, and certain blood diseases.
