Do these blood count numbers mean anything?!
Question:
Do these blood count numbers mean anything?
I have had pain in my right side for 6 months so in trying to figure out what is wrong they did more blood work. My wbc was 13.9 which is higher than the normal range of 4-11 thou/cumm and also my mpv count was 7.1 which was only a few tenths out of the normal range. Do these things mean anything or is it close enough to the normal range that this may provide no answers?
THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE!

When speaking with my dr. he says that everything looks fine. I am concerned that because it is an HMO they keep sending me away without figuring out what is wrong.
Answers:
Yes, a high blood count usually means that there is an infection. This can be taken care of with antibiotics.
