Is it important to have a high white blood cell count of 12?

High white blood cell 12×10^9/L may not be very important if it is due to general infection, but it is more important if it is due to some serious infections or hematologic diseases, and the exact severity needs to be further evaluated in conjunction with the cause of the disease.
The normal reference value of white blood cells is usually (4~10) x 10^9/L, and the test standard may vary from hospital to hospital. Leukocytes are considered elevated when they are 12 x 10^9/L elevated.
This result can be seen in acute infections, such as the infection of septic cocci; tissue injuries such as after major surgery, post-traumatic injury, extensive burns, acute myocardial infarction, etc.; acute hemorrhage. In addition, it can also be seen in certain hematologic diseases such as leukemia, myeloproliferative neoplasms, and malignant tumors such as liver cancer and stomach cancer.
Therefore, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time, complete the relevant examinations to clarify the cause of the disease and evaluate the condition, and follow the doctor’s instructions to receive standardized diagnosis and treatment.
