What can I eat to make up for low white blood cells?



White blood cells are generally referred to as leukocytes. Low white blood cells need to be identified and treated, along with medication. A well-balanced and comprehensive diet is good for improving the body’s functions, but it cannot raise the white blood cells.

Rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, connective tissue disease and other rheumatic immune diseases, aplastic anemia, leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, myeloma and other hematologic disorders, hyper-splenism, Helicobacter pylori infection, thyroid dysfunction, viral hepatitis and other diseases can lead to low leukocytes and the degree of leukocyte reduction is not uniform.

Leukocytes are produced from the body’s bone marrow and released into the peripheral blood. A balanced and comprehensive diet can enhance the body’s nutritional intake, which is conducive to promoting bone marrow hematopoiesis, but food is not a substitute for the cause of the disease and drug therapy.

Therefore, patients with low white blood cells need to go to the hematology department in time to improve the antinuclear antibody spectrum, thyroid function, bone marrow aspiration and other related tests to clarify the specific causes of the disease, and then treat the specific disease, and at the same time, human granulocyte stimulating factor injections and other leukocyte-boosting drugs are given according to the situation.
