What do you mean by white blood cells?

WBC is the abbreviation of white blood cells, also known as white blood cells. It is an important immune cell, mainly responsible for the defense mechanism of the body's immune system. The concentration of white blood cells in normal blood is very low, usually between 4000- 1 1000 cells per cubic milliliter. When the human body is faced with infection, inflammation or other immune conditions, the number of white blood cells will rise to meet the needs of the body and fight against pathogenic microorganisms.

When the number of white blood cells in the blood exceeds the normal range, we call it WBC abnormality. This situation may be caused by infection, systemic diseases and side effects of drugs. Leukocyte abnormalities are mainly typical symptoms of various diseases, such as fever, immune function problems, fatigue and so on. In addition, it may also lead to damage and destruction of blood cells and other organs and tissues.

The treatment of abnormal white blood cells needs to consider the inducement and specific symptoms, as well as the patient's physical condition and overall health status. In addition to drugs to relieve the symptoms of infection and inflammation, antibiotics and immunomodulation therapy may be needed. For some cases with mild symptoms, we can help the body recover by adjusting diet and increasing rest. In addition, a healthy lifestyle, such as drinking less and quitting smoking, may also help white blood cells return to normal.
