I went to get medical clearance for my BBL/360 procedure in Oct. Now my White Blood Count results came back with a 25. How can I bring this number done as I dont want to postpone my surgery date. Thanks..
Answer: High WBC I think the most important thing right now is to try and find out why your WBC is so high. You should repeat the test first, as sometimes there can be lab error. If in fact your WBC is really that high then you need to go see your PCP and try to figure out why the number is elevated.

Answer: Elevated white blood cell count before planned surgical procedure Hi and welcome to our forum!As a normal white blood cell count is between 4500-11000 WBC's per microliter, I don't know how to interpret 25 (25000?).If your count is abnormal, a medical evaluation is required to determine the cause, as your white blood cells provide you with immunity and protection from infection. Elevation suggests infection or malignancy. Surgery cannot proceed until the source of the elevation is identified and treated.Best wishes...

Answer: How can I bring down my WBC numbers to avoid postponing my surgery date? Hello @Thrifty851508, thank you for your question. I recommend you speak with your doctor, prime care specialist and work on stabilizing your health first because the first thing for a successful surgery is to be in optimal health. That means that all the previous examinations were as good as possible. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD FACS

Answer: How can I bring down my WBC numbers to avoid postponing my surgery date? You are really not understanding the significance of that HIGH of a WBC count! It indicates severe infection in your body or a blood disease.... You should be CANCELLED until you obtain a written hematology clearance. The one other possible reason for this very high WBC is laboratory error. Maybe repeat the WBC to verify it is so very high. If it is even higher, please go to the ER this is a very serious medical emergency.

Answer: Need to figure out why WBC is so high A white blood count of 25 is extremely high and requires further work-up. I am assuming your medical clearance was performed by your primary care physician. I would return to him/her to determine the cause of your increased white blood count.
