In general, leukemia is characterized by an increase in WBC's.

Does low 3800 white blood count indicate leukemia?
NO, just because you have an increased WBC count doesn't mean you have leukemia. There are other things in the blood work that would need to be looked at to say for sure. Things like platelet counts, when the tech did a differental did they see blasts or inmature WBC's. Have you been sick? Fever, sore throat, difficulty breathing, bruising easy? There are a lot of things that need to be looked at before the Dr says if it is or is not leukemia.
