high level of leukocyte

by hereoto, May 03, 2008 03:34AM
greetings

sorry if this is an inappropriate forum

a friend of mine is recently warded in a hospital overseas. apparently due to dehydration (she hardly had any water/food and had lots of alcohol 20 hrs before her flight).

she texted me saying she had a high level of leukocyte

this is a long shot and i am probably being ridiculous, but does a high level of leukocyte
(or a low level for that matter) have ANYTHING to do with HIV/STD?

kindly answer

thanks

leukocytes are a type of white blood cells.  Depending on how high they are depends on how much of a concern it is.  since she's dehydrated - it might even be falsely elevated.

This isn't a std issue.
