White blood cell count or simply WBC count measures the number of white blood cells in the blood. White blood cells or leukocytes help fight infections. These cells attack and destroy the virus, bacteria or other organisms causing an infection. White blood cells are fewer in number, but they are relatively bigger than red blood cells. You may have a high white blood cell count if you have a bacterial infection. It's, therefore, quite common for physicians to ask for a white blood cell count to see how the body is dealing with cancer treatment. It's natural to see an increase in the white blood cells when the body's fighting with an infection, but too much of white blood cells may require further investigation. A very high white blood cell count indicates an underlying health condition. A normal white blood cell count is between 4,500 and 10,000 cells per micro-liter. If no disease is present, your white blood cell count will be 1% of the total blood in your body. There are five types of white blood cells, including lymphocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes and the basophils. Normally, white blood cell count (per micro liter of blood) should be between the following ranges: The change in the count of different types of white blood cells indicates different types of diseases. For instance, a high neutrophils count might mean a common infection, a cancer or physical stress, whereas very high lymphocytes count would indicate AIDS. A bacterial infection is usually present when your eosinophils and monocytes count is higher than usual. High white blood cell may also indicate inflammation, tissue damage, trauma, allergy, chronic leukemia, chronic bone marrow disease, intense exercise, diverticular disease, and severe emotional/physical stress. There can be a number of different causes of high white blood cell count. Some of them are mentioned below: When there is an increase in the number of viruses or bacteria caused by an infection, your immune system takes charge and triggers the bone marrow to produce more white blood cells to fight against the disease. Inflammation caused by infections may also increase high blood cell count. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) usually means that you have some type of a lung or airway disease such as chronic bronchitis or emphysema that restricts airflow. Smoking is one big factor causing COPD. People who smoke usually have inflammation in the lungs, and this inflammation leads to elevated white blood cell count. A bone marrow disorder like leukemia can be a cause of elevated white blood cell count. Leukemia is essentially a type of cancer where your bone marrow starts producing too many abnormal white blood cells. These white blood cells are usually non-functional and increase the risk of infections. Graves' or Crohn's disease and some other auto-immune disorders can increase your white blood cell count. Your doctor will keep a close eye on your white blood cell count if you have one of these conditions. Physical or emotional stress, including stress caused by anxiety and overexertion, can push your white blood cell count up a bit. The count gets back to normal once the stress is gone. It is important to understand that high white blood cell count is not always a cause of concern, especially in the following situations: It is worth mentioning that newborns and infants usually have higher white blood cell counts. Moreover, the white blood cell count is usually lower in the morning and increases gradually as the day commences. Scientists are still looking for evidence to confirm if consistent high white blood cell count can trigger a serious disease. Whatever the case, just be sure to pay heed to your doctor's advice and know your white blood cell count for better and sooner prognosis. What you eat will always affect the overall white blood cell count. To lower your high white blood cell count, you should include the following in your diet: Note: Avoid foods rich in sugar, fat and salt, and replace with any food that lowers inflammation to reduce white blood cell count, like grapes, garlic, spices, nuts, soy protein, vinegar, and black and green teas.

Filter by:Ukloni sve Anemije su stanja u kojima je broj crvenih krvnih stanica ili količina hemoglobina (bjelančevina koja prenosi kisik) u njima ispod normale. Anemija može biti posljedica prekomjernog krvarenja, smanjenog stvaranja crvenih krvnih stanica ili povećanog razaranja crvenih krvnih stanica (hemoliza). Manjak željeza je jedan od najčešćih uzroka anemije. Anemija uzrokovana manjkom vitamina B12 (perniciozna anemija) je megaloblastična anemija koju nastaje uslijed nedostatka vitamina B12. Pernicioznu anemiju uzrokuje nedovoljna apsorpcija vitamina B12 (kobalamin). Leukemije su vrste raka krvnih stanica. Leukemije obično zahvaćaju bijele krvne stanice. Bijele krvne stanice razvijaju se iz matičnih stanica u koštanoj srži. Leukemija nastaje kada proces sazrijevanja iz matičnih stanica u bijele krvne stanice protječe krivo i proizvodi kancerogenu promjenu.
