What Causes High WBC Count?
Hi I have been having a high white count and I feel fine. In 12/16 I had bariatric surgery (ruen-Y) and I have been doing good but at that time they discovered and extremely large liver but never showed up on test until during surgery. I have lost 60 lbs so far but the concern is why would the white count be high and remain High. I did acquire a stap infection in incisions in Jan but after med it cleared up other than that I am doing good. Just can t figure out what is causing this. I have knee replacement surgery scheduled for July & Sept don t want to have to cancel.
