I'm worried because my wife's white blood cell count is really high, around 13,400. Could you take a look at the report and let us know what you think? We're unsure what this means and if it's something we should be concerned about.

A white blood cell (WBC) count of 13,400 is higher than the normal range of 4,500-11,000, indicating a possible infection, inflammation, or immune response

View allJust got my blood test results back and noticed my PDW is 19, but the report says it should be between 9.6 and 15.2. What does this mean for me? I'm not sure what steps I should take next, and it's making me a bit anxious. Can you help me understand what I can do about it?
An elevated PDW (Platelet Distribution Width) may indicate platelet abnormalities or certain medical conditions. In this case, it is important to further investigate the underlying cause. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation. Depending on the underlying cause, treatment may include medications such as Aspirin or Clopidogrel to help regulate platelet function. The dosage and duration of treatment will be determined by your healthcare provider based on the specific diagnosis.
