WBC rising

[Pat351v]

My WBC went from 35-48 in 6 mos...should I be worried? Most of my other bloodwork is normal except lymphocytes

Pat, it’s your lymphocyte level that’s the most illustrative not the WBC. What is your ALC (not percentages) and how much has it risen in that period?

It went from 29 to 38

[AussieNeil Partner Administrator in reply to Pat351v]

So under 70% of the increase in your WBC of 35 to 48 or 13, was due to an increase in your lymphocyte count of 29 to 38 or 9. Don't be surprised to see your lymphocyte count drop back next blood test.

Did you look at the plots in my reply to this post?healthunlocked.com/cllsuppo...

Yes I did...still trying to understand it all. Thank you

[Pat351v in reply to Newdawn]

Also nearly all my other bloodwork is normal

Pat, see healthunlocked.com/cllsuppo... and in particular my reply which includes a reference of how dramatically lymphocyte counts (and hence WBC counts), can change month to month.

Hello Pat351v

No, my WBC went up 53K in one month and I am still here. Mine never did slow down or reverse, just straight up. Blessings we are all different, just in same boat.
