Are you having any symptoms?  

Usually when the WBC is elevated it indicates infection.

Sounds like something going on with the kidneys.  

What is your Family Physician/PCP planning on doing about this?  Your WBC has been elevating for over a year.  This needs to be sorted out.

    Hello! I am a medicine student fom Traditional Chinese Medicine form China's Anhui,I read your question ,See you as your WBC count and frustrated,I am rery sorry for this,I would  like to use my knowledge to help you.
    First of all,I think your problem is not serious.WBC existed in the normal human body is 4 to 10,your target somewhat high,When there is inflammation,blood ,urine WBC inside will increase.Some  white blood diseases will increase.in addition ,doctors often analysis to determine whether  there is infection in patients.in general ,infection can cause WBC increased.But not necessarily exist in certain WBC increased in infection.
Many physiological factors can cause the total number of WBC increased. For example, vigorous exercise; manual;.Also found WBC increased by physiological emotional stress, hunger and hypoglycemia.
Many drugs can cause increased WBC count. For example: certain antibiotics such as erythromycin, cephalosporins and other game music; also catecholamine class medicine such as epinephrine, norepinephrine,
In short, the blood is not necessarily higher in the WBC  infected, it may be due to the physiological factors or drug induced. Hematological diseases will increase WBC.
    Main function is to play defense to foreign role in infection. And I suggest you observe a few days,and Chinese medicine for slightly elevated WBC has its unique place,There are many Chinese  medicines can reduce the count of WBC,For example,cangerzi,dahuang,zhechong,huangqin,huangbai etc.I copied the old Chinese side, have seen several cases of cure of such disease cases, I believe Traditional Chinese Medicine and confident your question,You are welcome to come to China and see a doctor.
