Infection is one possible reason for an abnormal increase in the number of WBC's (white blood cells).
wbc esterace 2+ Abnormal occult blood 1+ Abnormal wbc 11-30 Abnormal rbc 4-10 Abnormal
There are usually more RBCs than WBCs. If you have an abnormal increase in WBCs, you have an infection or leukemia (a type of cancer).
In general, leukemia is characterized by an increase in WBC's. This may lead you to think there would be a strengthening of the immune system, however, the increase in WBC's is due to the unregulated proliferation of immature cells (myeloid cells or lymphoblasts) or abnormal cells which are both incapable of defense against infection.
by running.
My urninalysis came back with WBC esterase as 2+ Abnormal. My WBC under urinalysis came back 6-10 Abnormal ...what does this mean?
polycytemia
Increase in WBC means infection or an autoimmune problem
wbc can be increased in aids patients through the help of stem cells... taken from the umbilical cord.
yes, if wbcs count 20-40 thousand/cumm, then it is really abnormal. because reference range of t.l.c. is 4000-11000/cumm.
at least in theory, vigorous sex will make you sweat, which might lead to hemoconcentration, and thus and increase in WBC per unit of fluids. In theory also, extrenous exercise might produce demargination of WBC from blood vessels with a net increase in WBC (similar to marathon runners leukocytosis)
