Leukocyte 11.38 means that the white blood cell count is 11.38 x 10^9/L. White blood cell count is one of the items of routine blood test, which is mainly used to detect infections, hematological diseases, hypersplenism and so on.
The normal range of white blood cell count for adults is (4~10)×10^9/L; the normal range for infants is (15~20)×10^9/L; and the normal range for children is (5~12)×10^9/L.
Exceeding the range indicates an abnormal white blood cell count, with a white blood cell count of less than 2 x 10^9/L or more than 30 x 10^9/L being considered a critical value.
A high white blood cell count suggests acute infection, acute hemorrhage, leukemia, and severe tissue damage such as trauma, burns, and massive blood cell destruction; while a low white blood cell count may suggest aplastic anemia, hypersplenism, malaria, and other pathological factors.
Therefore, if the white blood cell count is abnormal, you should consult the doctor in time, ask the doctor to clarify the specific cause, and if necessary, carry out appropriate treatment.
