Leukocytes 15.39 Neutrophils 93 The severity of leukocytosis depends on the cause of the leukocytosis. Clinical diseases that can cause increased leukocytes include poisoning and hemorrhagic diseases, in addition to infectious diseases.
For acute infections or septic infections, such as acute appendicitis, acute pneumonia, and acute sepsis, the infection is usually indicated to be serious and immediate anti-infective treatment is necessary. If poisoning results in elevated leukocytes it only represents the stress response of the organism and does not indicate the severity of the disease, e.g., leukocytes are elevated in patients with acute organophosphorus poisoning but cholinesterase is only slightly moderately decreased.
Acute bleeding disorders also have elevated white blood cells as a result of stress, but they do not represent the severity of bleeding, e.g., acute gastrointestinal bleeding is usually evaluated by the red blood cell count and hemoglobin concentration to assess the severity of bleeding.
It is recommended to combine the specific situation, the appearance of elevated white blood cells, timely visit the hospital, under the guidance of the doctor for standardized treatment, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
