Cbc With Differential

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Chicago, IL

Is it normal to have slightly elevated white blood cell and lymphocyte counts? I went from 6.3 white blood cell in November to 11.9 this month. White blood cell normal range is 4.0-11.0 (I mean its not too over the standard range) and my lymphocytes are 5.2 and the standard range is 1.0-4.0

If you are having a lot of disease activity,ie inflammation your wbc count will go up.
If it goes up to high your doc will let you know if further tests are needed.
