For this week’s episode, I wanted to cover all the reasons you'll see an elevated WBC count. • When most clinicians think of elevated WBC count, they immediately think it's due to an infectious cause. • But, there are other differentials to consider when seeing this abnormal result. I’ll get to that in a second, first I want to establish a few definitions... • Leukocytosis refers to elevated WBC (leukocyte) count. But if you recall from your pathophysiology class, there are many different types of WBCs. • Neutrophilia is the most common type of leukocytosis, but leukocytosis may also be due to increased monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, and/or lymphocytes. • A few things I'll be covering: • · What to think when you see elevated lymphocytes or neutrophilia • · Most common cause of an increased WBC count • · Primary versus secondary causes of elevated WBCs • · The Philadelphia chromosome • - • Our goal at Medgeeks is to help you live the life you want to live as you navigate a career in medicine. • This looks different to everyone, which is why we take such a personalized approach. • Whether you want to ... • Stop taking your work home • Have the skillset to work autonomously • Improve your work life balance • ...or anything in between, we can definitely help. • • We've worked with thousands since 2013 and we're confident we can help take your career and life to the next level.
