Hi, Just wondering what people who are transplant patients have as Normal WBC

I have 7.1 at the moment, as I am told this relates to your immune system condition

Howdy…Just checked my wbc from end of November was also 7.1. And, I’m 15 months post. It’s generally in that range. I did have neutropenia (very low neutrophils) in March. My wbc dipped to about 3. They removed my anti viral and wbc neutrophils rebounded almost immediately.

On the one hand, let the doctors do the job of worrying about your numbers. On the other hand , it is good to be your advocate. It’s a delicate balance. 😊

Mine is generally between 8 and 10. I've been told some of it has to do with Prednisone. Stress can be a factor as well as other things, but I'd talk to your doctor if it becomes worrying for you.

Mine is between 4-6. It was that range befire the transplant. I had neutropenia and it went to 1.7 . I was taken of MMF and then put back in a reduced dose of 250mg twice a day
