Question : Hello, I have a question about my CBC. My WBC has been elevated for about 10 months now. ranging from 11-15. Should this be something of concern? I have had a diff done as well, and my netrophils are always the ones elevated. Could this be a form of Chronic Leukemia?

Brief Answer:
Could you please Upload the entire report for the review?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

It is very unlikely that this has anything to do with leukemia. Rarely would leukemia present just with elevated WBC...

The range of 11-15 is not typical for leukemia either. I understand your concerns but there is no cause for alarm at this time.

In the interim, please upload the entire report for review. This way, I can look at other elements on this report and make a more insightful approach. You can simply upload/attach it to the 'Reports section' at the right of this web page.

However, leukemia is not a consideration at this time.

I hope this helps and guides.
I wish you well.
Feel free to follow up with me as need be.
