Low white blood cells do not cause weight loss per se; weight loss may be caused by a primary disease.
The main function of white blood cells is to fight infection, remove foreign bodies and pathogenic bacteria or viruses. Low white blood cells will lead to a decline in immunity, making it easier to catch a cold or develop pneumonia.
1. If there are both low white blood cells and significant weight loss, it is important to pay attention to whether you are picky about what you eat, have insufficient nutritional intake, stay up late or overwork.
2. Pathological factors include hyperthyroidism, diabetes mellitus, gastroenteritis, malignant tumors or blood diseases. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to clarify the cause.
Pay attention to the regularity of work and rest, appropriate exercise, keep a relaxed mood, pay attention to sufficient and diversified diet, and make up for the raw materials needed for hematopoiesis, such as proteins, lipids, iron, vitamin B12, folic acid and so on. Specific diagnosis and treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a physician.
