Can WBC Counts Are Higher Than Normal Cause Any Complication During The Surgery ?
Hi Dr. I am 39 yrs old man and have severe breathing trouble due to deviated septum, planning to go for a surgery. Recently i was diagonized with Myloproliferative disorder so my platelet and WBC counts are higher than normal (750000 and 32000) respectively and Hemoglobin is 17.5, my question is can this blood condition cause any complication during the surgery ?

hi,
you should take medicine for your myeloproliferative disease. it can cause complication in surgery. however it all depends on the risk benefit ratio, because if you have intolerable breathlessness then without wait you have to go for surgery there is no option, so consult your physician and anesthetist for your problem and take decision accordingly.
