What are the causes of high white blood cell count?

A high white blood cell count on a test report may be related to lifestyle habits, or it could indicate infections, tissue damage, and other issues that require prompt attention. Here are some potential causes:

1. Lifestyle Habits: Vigorous exercise or overeating in one sitting may lead to a temporary increase in white blood cells. This is generally normal and will not last long, gradually returning to normal after 1-2 days. There is no need for excessive concern, and proper self-care is usually sufficient.

2. Infections: If bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens invade the body, they may cause infections. The body's white blood cells will resist and continuously phagocytize the pathogens, leading to an elevated white blood cell count. Treatment with cephalosporin capsules, amoxicillin capsules, and other medications under medical guidance can help achieve anti-infective effects.

3. Tissue Damage:Tissue damage, such as from surgery or external force trauma, can affect the body's metabolism and may result in an elevated white blood cell count. No treatment is needed in the short term, and more attention should be paid to rest. Additionally, it may also be related to hematological diseases such as acute leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes. If such diseases are suspected, medical attention should be sought promptly.
