Health standard of white blood cell count

The white blood cells in the blood are the patrol of the human body to defend against bacterial invasion. When foreign bodies such as bacteria invade, white blood cells enter the invasion site, surrounding, devouring and destroying bacteria, so white blood cells are called "white guards" of the human body. It can be seen that the decrease in the number of white blood cells will weaken the antibacterial ability of the human body and make it susceptible to infection. However, leukopenia does not require treatment. First, it depends on the degree of reduction; Second, it depends on the reasons for the decrease. The normal white blood cell count is (4 ~ 10) × 109/L, that is, 4000 ~ 10000 per cubic millimeter with an average of 7000. If it is between 4000 and 7000, it means that the normal level is low and no treatment is needed; If it is lower than 4000, it can be diagnosed as leukopenia. Even so, there is no need for treatment. For example, if there is only a slight or transient decline, and there is no further decline at the time of review, there is no need to be nervous or need treatment. Of course, white blood cells in the following situations need attention and take intervention measures under the guidance of a doctor. 1, the number of white blood cells is seriously reduced, and treatment is urgently needed. White blood cells are composed of granulocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes. Generally speaking, leukopenia refers to neutropenia. If the degree of reduction is too obvious, bacteria are likely to spread rapidly when the body completely or basically loses its resistance, and even enter the blood to cause septicemia, which is a serious threat to life. 2. Leukopenia with etiology should be treated according to the etiology. There are three common reasons for leukopenia: first, drugs, such as antipyretic and analgesic drugs and sulfonamides, should be stopped or changed when leukopenia is too obvious; The second is virus infection, such as influenza and virus infection. At this time, on the one hand, antiviral treatment should be actively carried out, on the other hand, drugs that increase white blood cells can be taken as appropriate; Third, patients with immune system diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, should also carry out the same intervention at this time and choose drugs that can increase white blood cells. 3. Erythrocytopenia and/or thrombocytopenia need further diagnosis and treatment. When white blood cells decrease, if the other two cells in the blood, namely red blood cells and platelets, have abnormal changes, the problem is more complicated. First of all, further examination is needed. The most common is bone marrow examination to exclude other blood diseases, and then the treatment plan is decided. Drugs commonly used in clinic to increase white blood cells are: vitamin B4, Leixuesheng, shark liver alcohol, coenzyme A and so on. Generally, there are no side effects. Patients can choose as appropriate under the guidance of doctors. Leukopenia and neutropenia are a group of syndromes caused by various reasons. According to its clinical characteristics, it belongs to the category of "qi deficiency" in traditional Chinese medicine. [Clinical manifestations]; 1. Leukopenia: generally, there are nonspecific symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, weakness of limbs, loss of appetite, low fever and insomnia. A few patients are asymptomatic, and some patients have recurrent oral ulcer, lung infection or urinary tract infection. 2. agranulocytosis: the onset is sudden, often accompanied by high fever, chills, headache, fatigue or extreme weakness. Necrotic ulcers sometimes occur in mucous membranes such as mouth, nasal cavity, skin, rectum, anus and vagina. Exfoliative dermatitis can occur in patients who are allergic to drugs, and central nervous system symptoms can occur in severe cases. Sepsis or sepsis often occurs quickly and leads to death. [diagnosis >; 1. Leukopenia: the number of white blood cells in peripheral blood is less than 4. Oxll09/L for various reasons. Children's standard is 10- 14 years old, less than 4.5x 109/L, and 5-9 years old, less than 5.5x109/l 2. Neutropenia and agranulocytosis: the absolute value of neutrophils in adult peripheral blood is less than 2.0x1. When it is below 0.5× 109/L, it is called neutropenia. [treatment]; 1. Western medicine treatment (1) leukocytosis drugs, such as Leixuesheng or vitamin B4 10mg, three times a day; Or lithium carbonate 0.25g, three times a day. (2) G-CSF and GM-CSF were used to promote cell production. 2. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment of deficiency of both qi and blood: shortness of breath, dizziness, weakness of limbs, loss of appetite, insomnia, dreaminess, or extreme weakness, frequent colds or other infectious diseases, pale tongue with white fur and weak pulse. Treatment: tonify qi and blood. Prescription: Radix Codonopsis and Radix Astragali each 30g, Rhizoma Polygonati, Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae, Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, Radix Rehmanniae, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Radix Paeoniae Alba and Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae each 65438 00g, Radix Glycyrrhizae 6g and five Chinese dates. Chinese patent medicine: Fengling Capsule, Bering Capsule, Spirulina. [Prevention and aftercare]; 1. Pay attention to diet: avoid cold and unclean diet to avoid digestive system infection. 2. Try to avoid going to public places to prevent respiratory infection. 3. Avoid taking drugs that cause bone marrow damage or leukopenia. 4. Avoid contact with chemicals and radioactive substances that cause bone marrow damage.
