Neutrophils and WBC count increase

by Anonymous on Wed Jun 06, 2012 10:10 pm

Hi,

What does it mean if my Neutrophils and WBC count have both slightly increased at the same time since my last blood work was done (both were previously well within the normal range, but now Neutrophils is no longer in the normal range and WBC count seems like it will soon surpass the normal range)? My Neutrophils and WBC count were never this high before. Everything else is more or less in the ‘normal’ range. Could someone please provide feedback on this? Is there anything I could/should do to get both back to the ‘normal’ range?

Thanks.

Are you currently undergoing any treatment at this time? If so, what?

Can you post the changes you're seeing in your Neutrophil and WBC counts? In general, and definitely in my case, I tend to see quite a bit of variation in white cell counts and to a lesser degree my neutrophil counts.

Also, have you had any recent illness or infections that might contribute to the increases due to your body working to fight it off?
