High white blood cell count? What you should know

By Perrin Braun Mar 13, 2013
White blood cells play an important role in your body’s immune system, searching the blood for invading viruses, bacteria, and fungi. When a
foreign virus or bacteria enters your blood, the white blood cell, or leukocyte, recognizes and destroys the invading particle before it can cause
disease. There are several di頖erent types of white blood cells, each with their own function. Some directly destroy the foreign bacteria, while
others attack cells that are infected by viruses. Other types of white blood cells can even play a role in allergic reactions!
What happens when you have elevated white blood cells?
Since white blood cells ᪏ᰠght o頖 infection, people tend to think that elevated levels are actually bene᪏ᰠcial. This is not necessarily the case! A high
white blood cell count isn’t a speci᪏ᰠc disease, but it can indicate another problem, such as infection, stress, in㤲媜ammation, trauma, allergy, or
certain diseases. That’s why a high white blood cell count usually requires further investigation. The InsideTracker blood analysis measures your
white blood cell count, and will tell you whether it is in the optimal zone for you. If your white blood cell count is elevated, you should speak with
your doctor.
To learn how InsideTracker can help you ᪏ᰠnd personalized recommendations to optimize your white blood cell levels, view the free demo here.
What are the symptoms of elevated white blood cell count?
The only way to truly determine if your levels are too high is to get your blood tested, by your physician’s o钨ce or through InsideTracker. People
with high white blood cell count, a condition called leukocytosis, typically don’t have any speci᪏ᰠc symptoms, but may have a medical condition
that is responsible for raising white blood cell levels. The speci᪏ᰠc number for high white blood cell count varies from one lab testing facility to
another, but a general rule of thumb is that a count of more than 10,500 leukocytes in a microliter of blood in adults is generally considered to
be high, while 4,500-10,500 is considered within the normal range. Since high white blood cell count can be a symptom of another underlying
problem, you might experience symptoms that are associated with that condition. However, people with leukocytosis may also experience a
combination of these symptoms: fever, fainting, bleeding, bruising, weight loss, and general pain.
What are the causes of elevated white blood cell count?
There are a few reasons why you might have high white blood cell count. They include:
Infection – as infection-causing bacteria or viruses multiply in the blood, your bone marrow produces more white blood cells to ᪏ᰠght o頖 the
infection. Infection can also lead to in㤲媜ammation, which can in turn cause the number of white blood cells to increase.
Smoking or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) – essentially, COPD means that you have a lung and airway disease like emphysema
or chronic bronchitis that blocks proper air㤲媜ow. It is commonly caused by cigarette smoking, which results in in㤲媜ammation in the lungs and air
passages. As you gain more in㤲媜ammation in your lungs and airways, your body will produce more white blood cells to ᪏ᰠght it o頖.
Leukemia – leukemia is a type of cancer that dramatically increases your number of white blood cells. Leukemic white blood cells are often
non-functional, which may increase the risk of infection in these cancer patients.
Immune system disorders – some auto-immune disorders like Crohn’s or Graves’ disease can elevate your white blood cell levels. If you have
one of these conditions, your doctor should monitor your white blood cell levels.
Stress – ᪏ᰠnally, emotional or physical stress can also cause elevated white blood cell counts. The good news is that white blood cell levels will
return to normal after the stress is gone.
How does exercise a頖ect your white blood cell count?
If you got your blood tested right after working out, you might not have to worry—your body actually increases your white blood cell count
during exercise! In fact, this increase in the activity of your white blood cells might actually allow your body to identify disease-causing organisms
more rapidly than under normal circumstances, which is yet another bene᪏ᰠt of exercise. Immediately after exercise, your levels of white blood
cells increase in proportion to the intensity and duration of the workout. One study showed that runners’ white blood cell levels triple during a
marathon. Since the amount of white blood cells then drops to its normal level after exercise, you should ideally wait one day after a heavy
workout session to get your blood tested.
What types of foods will help to decrease your elevated white blood cell count?
What you eat also has an e頖ect on your white blood cell count. To keep your levels in check, avoid eating foods that are high in fat, calories,
sugar, and salt (such as fast foods). Aim for foods that are high in antioxidants like vitamins C and E, ᪏ᰠber, calcium, ᪏ᰠsh oils, mono-unsaturated
fats, and low on the glycemic index. Your InsideTracker Plan will give you recommendations for a variety of foods that satisfy your preferences
and provide you with the nutrients you need. Some foods that have been shown to have an e頖ect on lowering in㤲媜ammation include garlic,
grapes, herbs and spices, soy protein, nuts, olive oil, black and green teas, and vinegar. Aim to eat at least six servings of fruits and vegetables
per day, which will bene᪏ᰠt much more than your white blood cell levels. Other speci᪏ᰠc nutrients to increase in your diet include:
Omega-3 fatty acids – omega-3 fatty acids are a type of polyunsaturated fat (or PUFA) that is known to increase heart health and elevate the
activity of phagocytes, a type of white blood cells that protect you from foreign bacteria. Omega-3 PUFAs are found mainly in fatty ᪏ᰠsh like trout,
herring, and salmon, but also in walnuts and 㤲媜axseed. Studies have shown that PUFAs signi᪏ᰠcantly increased white blood cell counts in women
on a controlled diet.
Antioxidants - Antioxidants are a type of a molecule that protects our cells against harmful molecules called free radicals, which damage cells,
protein, and DNA (for instance, free radicals cause peeled apples to turn brown). Eating more phytochemicals helps protect against this type of
damage. Phytochemicals with antioxidant capacity include allyl sul᪏ᰠdes (found in onions, leeks, and garlic), carotenoids (in fruits and carrots),
㤲媜avonoids (fruits and vegetables), and polyphenols (in tea and grapes). While they don’t speci᪏ᰠcally work to increase white blood cell count, they
help to support a healthy immune system.
Vitamin C – Vitamin C helps the body to produce more white blood cells, which in turn helps the body to ᪏ᰠght infections. All citrus fruits—
including oranges, lemons, and limes—contain vitamin C. You can also get vitamin C from other fruits, such as berries, papayas, pineapples and
guavas, and vegetables, such as carrots, broccoli, cauli㤲媜ower, brussels sprouts, and bell peppers.
In addition to these nutrients, you may want to invest in some non-alcoholic beer! Believe it or not, one study showed that drinking 1 to 1.5 liters
of non-alcoholic beer for 3 weeks before and 2 weeks after running a marathon helps to reduce both in㤲媜ammation and white blood cell count!

I found out my WBC was high in December of 2015. Went to the ER in mid February, still
high. Because of my insurance and stupid policies, I haven't been able to follow up on all
this. I believe my WBC in December was about 15,000 and I don't remember what it was
in February. Please, if you post about your WBC, please share your numbers because it
helps others.

I went to ER recently, and mine was 22000. Then , 10 days later, it was back
down. But the ER Dr, said anything over 20 needed looking into.

If ANYONE has any advice I'd so appreciate it!! I'm 41 years old & I'm about at my
breaking point & ready to just give up!! 2015 was the worst year ever & seems 2016 is
heading that way as well! In January of 2015 it started with a week hospital stay of
EXTREME PAIN CAUSED BY diverticulitis then the day I was released I ended up back
in the er & admitted AGAIN for chronic pancreatitis! I had chronic attacks of pancreatitis
back in 1999,otherwise briefly stopped while I was pregnant with my son in 2000,but after
he was born started up again. They said my gallbladder was causing it & removed
it...shortly after that in 2003 I went to er cause I could not breath..they put me in a induced
coma,a tracheotomy in my neck and I woke up a month later and had to learn to walk
again. They said being young saved my life! My doctor misdiagnosed me saying I had the
flu when I actually had pneumococcal pneumonia that went untreated for months,so it
developed into me also getting tss,I was septic,anemic,my organs were shutting down
ect..my white blood cell count with thru the roof but after I recovered it went back to
normal. In 2010 I herniated a disk,had surgery only for them to make is worse,then was
told I had degenerative disc disease. I don't know if that causes a high white blood cell
count???? But from January of 2015september 2015 I was admitted to the hospital 3x a
MONTH..MY white blood cell count high ever since January 2015 when the real
nightmare started. The pancreatitis was back & still is & no 1 can seem to figure out

Thank you Maxine!! Since I posted this 4 months ago things have just
gotten more complicated. I have not been in the hospital which is the good
news!! But now they are telling me I'm severely anemic & they don't know
why. My pain levels are of the charts. They put me on these Butrans pain
patches. OMG I hate them!! They talked about maybe Fentanyl patches
but wanted to try butrans 1st. I been on them for a few months now and I
have ALOT of break thru pain. I tryed,well I called & left a message literally
BEGGING for them to put me back on oral pain pills. My arms where I put
the path he's are so raw. I'm breaking out like crazy everywhere I put
these patches on my body!! The nurse called me back saying the doctor
does not prescribe pain meds...WHAT??!! AND they would send a referral
to a pain management place... I literally can't afford pain management
anymore!! I don't mind that they drug test me every month but my
insurance sucks and I end up getting charged $250.00 bucks for every
piss test. It's ridiculous!! I know ppl are not supposed to share
medication,but if it was not for a few friends helping me out I don't know
what I'd do. I can't rely on them forever,so I don't know what I'm going to
do. My white blood cell count is still high,yet they can't seem to figure
anything out. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm slowly pushing all my
friends & family away just cause I don't want to be "That Person" that all I
do is complain and be the downer in the room. I don't leave the house
anymore,maybe 2 times a month and if I do I wait in the car and send my
son into the store for what we need. I'm just to depressed and in to much
pain ALL the time.
That's where I'm at now anyway.

Your body can indeed heal itself. I recommend you try taking the following. I won't
list the dosages because you'll need to research the recommended dosage. I will
say you need to start low and work your way up because one supplement that I'm
going to recommend will allow the other supplements to effectively pass
throughout your body tenfold.
1) Liquid Zeolite (NCD2) To remove heavy metals and toxins from the body that
viruses hide behind.
2) MMS An oxygen therapy solution to kill bacteria that viruses feed off of, which
ultimately starves the virus. Research where to buy MMS. Some sellers will label
it as CDS.
3) MSM The distilled crystal version of DMSO liquid and it has to be the distilled
crystals for the best quality. Don't let the sellers fool you with the word
crystallization. It is not the same as distillation. This supplement is not only a
natural pain reliever, it allows medication & supplements to pass through all blood
barriers in your body. This means viruses and bacteria have no where to hide.
4) 100% Oregano Oil This is a natural antibacterial and antiviral supplement.
5) Raw Foods Meaning, you need to be a healthy vegetarian for 2 to 3 months.
Eating raw green foods without dimensioning their nutrients. The reason is

Jimbody > KatJ • 4 months ago
Hi KatJ, I'm a medical student in England and I'd like to say that your story broke
my heart. Please tell your doctors all your concerns and bloody make them give
you your pain medication, I'm sure they will want to help you as much as possible.
I'm afraid I don't know much about pancreatitis so I can't and shouldn't give any
health advice but please stay strong. I'm not aware of the legal systems in
America but surely you could sue for any misdiagnosis or mistreatment?, again I
don't know the system or your situation so I can't really help. JUST LET YOUR
DOCTORS KNOW ALL OF THIS AND YOUR FEARS AND DON'T BE AFRAID
TO PLAY HARD BALL TO GET THE HELP AND ATTENTION YOU NEED. I
know this wasn't particularly helpful but keep fighting!
KatJ > Jimbody • 4 months ago
Thank you Jimbody!! I actually have a appointment with a new primary
doctor for tomorrow (monday) morning! I have a huge stack of my files
from my current doctor & the 1 I had before him just to PROVES to this
new doc that I have been prescribed pain medication for the last 6
YEARS,PLUS I'M BRINGING the records from the back doctor who did
the surgery on me for a trial try of a back stimulater that for some it helps
ppl pain. I didn't like it,it did nothing for me so they removed it! That surge
was HORRIBLE cause I had 2 be awake for the whole thing. I was literally
in TEARS during the whole hour of that surgery! These damn doctors are
NOT even supposed to just stop pain medication cold turkey on people
who have been on it as long as I have. 6 YEARS I have been taking it. My
body is so used to it,that if I just stopped,my body would go thru
HORRIBLE WITHDRAWL! I only take them when in pain,and after being
on them for 6 years,I think me only taking 4 to 5 pills a day is pretty
good....but YES,I plan to see this new doctor Monday & I'm going to tell
him,HEY Doc...Here's what's going on...I NEED a doctor who is NOT
going to treat me like a criminal cause I have chronic pain that requires
pain medication & that I've been on them for 6 YEARS and tell him how my

the sign of any worry?
Melissa • 5 months ago
My white count has ranged from 14 to 25.6 over the last 10 years. The doctors have
never figured out a diagnosis other than "guesses" of my system brewing up an
autoimmune disorder (which was ruled out with arthritis tests and Crohn's tests). Then
they "guessed" that my normal range just must be high....Well, now, 10 years later my
white counts are under 10 all of the sudden. Along with this, I have a lump on the right
side of my neck, with pain in jaw and ear. Ultrasound showed my lymph node was within
normal size, so they have looked no further. Any ideas? I am freaking out worried about it

My husband just went back for a follow up, for elevated white blood cells.
The doctor saw him a few months ago ,and his white blood count was a little above
normal, he wasn't to concern, thought he'd have him come back for a follow up.
Now his white blood cells are 15.000
My husband has been under so much much stress, dealing with parkinsons, and having
nerve damage from Shingles ,going on 3 years now.
He suffers every day with pain.
They were concerned in the beginning, that he had blood in his stool.
That's why he had his blood tested,he's 83 years old ,but very healthy and active, until he
was diagnosed, with parkinsons, and having so much pain from nerve damage from
Shingles.
Now he's just wiped out ,and wants to sleep all the time.
He's had epidurals,nerve blocks, nothing is helping his pain,
What could be causing his white blood cells to elevate?

carry more oxygen than normal red ones. This increases the rate of cellular

A lengthwise black or brown band on your or someone else’s nail? There are
several causes, some are more serious than others, but the most important cause
could be melanoma of the nail called subungual melanoma.
Nail discoloration that occurs as a vertical line is also called longitudinal
melanonychia. It occurs due to an overproduction of melanocytes in that area of
the nail. These nail bands are sometimes caused by “nail moles” and similar to
moles elsewhere in the body, may not develop into a more serious problem but still
need to be monitored. Nail moles are more common in children.
Nail pigment bands or melanonychia are quite common in people who have dark
skin. It is estimated that 70 percent of African Americans over the age of 20 have
nail banding and almost all African Americans over the age of 50 have some type
of nail pigment discoloration. Only 1020 percent of those of Japanese decent
have melanonychia and it occurs in less than two percent of Caucasians.
Melanonychia that is found to be skin melanoma (subungual melanoma) has the
highest morbidity over other sites in the body so any nail discoloration should be
evaluated by a dermatologist. The doctor will review symptoms based on an A
