What Causes The Elevation Of WBC?

I found out that my white blood cells are elevated for a while now, what exactly does that mean? I have a Dr appointment later in July but instead of stressing me out till then, if I could find out something about it I certainly would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your effort and your time. Sincerely, Clairma Matherne
