What Does 25 MCG/ML White Blood Cell Indicate?
Had recent blood work done for life insurance policy. They said I was very healthy, but I did have this number that concerns me. What does 25MCG/ML white blood cell count mean? It says it's high. .06 prot/creat was said to be normal. I'm a 51 year old female.
Thank you

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Its 25000 / cmm WBC count. It is elevated to two times normal.
2. The normal count is usually 4000-11000/cmm.
3. Elevated count could be due to stress, bacterial or viral infection. Differential count of WBC and peripheral smear would be necessary for further evaluation. Leukemia also needs to ruled out. More details and clinical history necessary for further opinion.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
