CBC Drop
I had a CBC done in september and my WBC was 7.4, I just had another done recently as a routine visit and the WBC was 5.8. Should I be concerned about the drop in WBC? Both numbers are still normal and in reference range, but I can't help but think. My RBC and Platelets were normal and no where near the "low" mark. If this was Leukemia, wouldn't something else show up abnormal in the blood?
No, I'm experiencing no leukemia symptoms whatsoever. It's good to know that WBC counts fluctuates, I didn't know that since my numbers have been pretty constant for a while. I hope it's nothing.
Hi.
Are you experiencing any symptoms that would have you concerned about the possibility of leukemia?
Your CBC is well within normal limits. WBC counts normally fluctuate as the body responds to numerous stresses and infections day by day. At this point, and without any symptoms, you should not be worried.
Hope this helps.
