What does a white blood count show?
The "white blood count" is the number of white blood cells (WBCs) per cubic millimeter. Normal counts range from 4000 to 10,500. (Normal red blood cell counts are in the range of three to five million per cubic millimeter, which is why blood is red.) The white blood cells are differentiated into 5 major subgroups or "lines," each of which has a different function. Mostly, they are involved in protecting the body from disease, dectroying invaders, cleaning up after injuries and such things. Hence, one can tell if a disease process is present by looking at the total WBC count and the proportions of the different WBC lines. One can also detect the presence of leukemia or other blood disorders from the WBC count. Doctors will watch the WBC count changes over time to gauge the efficacy of disease treatments.
