Elevated wbc, Elevated granulocytes, and elevated monocytes

I am a 28 yr old female. I have had 4 blood tests in the past 3 months. Started off as normal physical and noted high WBC, have been checking ever since.

My Wbc count (H) went from 12.8, 13.0, 15, 17.4. (normal 4.0-10.5)
Granulocytes (H), went from 8.6, 10.1, 12.5. (normal 1.7-7.7)
Now my absolute monocytes are 1.2(h) (normal 0.1-1.0)
Crp (H)  1.1  (normal less than .60)
ALT/SGPT (H) 40 (normal 0-35)

My platelets are normal but creeping up. started at 316 and now they are at 390 (normal 150-400)
I have no fever. 2 urine cultures showed moderate amounts of blood but no infection. Blood culture shows no infection. Tested for mono, lymes, lupus, and rocky mountain spotted fever all negative. I have been on 2 courses of antibiotics... obviously did nothing.
I have headaches, dizziness, and fatigue, occasional night sweats.
My doctor is sending me to a hematologist but, my appointment is 2 weeks away. Any insight would be appreciated.

Sorry, don't know, in fact given WBC are good guys I thought they couldn't be too high..  But my HDL is too high (over range) but HDL is good and my doc isn;t concerned.

good luck

Thank you for your suggestion. I will call the hematologist and see if they can put me on a cancellation list, I didn't realize that was an option.

Any ideas as to what could be causing the high wbc and other abnormalities?

If your doctor doesn't know the delay in seeing the hemo, please ask his advice.  If needed he may be able to get you an earlier appointment, you can also ask the hemo staff to call you if a cancellation makes an earlier appointment possible.
