A high white blood cell count does not have any symptom so you can have it without fever.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a ABSOLUTE NEUTROPHIL COUNT (ANC) Test or Take a DCP-DECARBOXY PROTHROMBIN PIVKA-II Test

I have received my blood report. The Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) is 15.1 percent, which is slightly high by 1.1 percent according to the report, and lymphocytes are also slightly elevated at 40.4 percent. My platelet count is 154,000/mm. Could you please suggest if these results indicate any underlying issue?
