White Blood Cell Count (WBC) details
What White Blood Cell Count (WBC) shows
White blood cell count (WBC) measures the total number of white blood cells — your immune system's primary infection-fighting cells — circulating in your blood, combining neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils together into one overall number. It's one of the core values in a complete blood count (CBC), and an elevated count often reflects infection, inflammation, or stress on the body, while a low count can indicate certain infections, autoimmune conditions, medication effects, or bone marrow problems. A 'differential' count, breaking down the specific types of white cells, is typically reviewed alongside the total to better understand the underlying cause of an abnormal result.
Tests that include White Blood Cell Count (WBC)
This test is primarily used to monitor the body's response to infection. It's also crucial for diagnosing conditions like leukemia and other leukocyte disorders, as well as for tracking the effectiveness of treatments for these diseases.
