My recent CBC blood test report shows PDW of 17.1, WBC of 11.4 (normal range is 4 to 9), and HCT of 41.8 (normal range is 34 to 38). Could you please advise me on what these results indicate and provide your valuable suggestion?

Slightly elevated PDW and WBC may indicate inflammation or infection. HCT is mildly high. Repeat CBC and consult if symptoms persist.

I am 22 years old and have been experiencing chest pain on the left side. I recently had a blood test, and the report shows an elevated WBC count of 12,440 and neutrophils at 77. All other parameters are within the normal range. Could this be a sign of blood cancer, or is it related to some other infection or condition?
