A fracture of the hip bone may cause elevated white blood cells.
A fracture is a complete or partial break in the bone structure and interruption of the continuity and integrity of the bone due to trauma or internal injury. The main clinical manifestations of a fracture are pain, swelling and limitation of movement.
Fractures may cause elevated white blood cells, and the main reasons for their elevation are stress response, inflammation, and hormones.
1. Stress response: the body may have a stress response after a fracture, resulting in elevated white blood cells.
2. Inflammation: after fracture, when the wound infection leads to local inflammation, there will also be elevated white blood cells.
3. Hormones: when hormonal drugs are used during fracture surgery, it may also lead to elevated white blood cells.
There may be other reasons for white blood cell elevation. If there is a prolonged elevation of white blood cells, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination in time to clarify the cause of the disease, and the doctor will issue professional diagnosis results.
