Beware Of Excess White Blood Cells, Can Be A Kronis Lurking Disease

YOGYAKARTA - Excess white blood cells or an increase in the number of leukocytes above the normal limit (leukocytes) can indicate various health conditions. White blood cells that should have become heroes, can actually become enemies.

Too many white blood cells or too few can be a sign of serious health problems. This article will review in detail the mechanisms, causes, and clinical implications of leuksitosis.

Reporting from the Patient Power page, white blood cells (WBCs), also called leukocytes, are part of the immune system and fight foreign organisms in the body. There are several WBC subtypes, including neutrophils, lymphocytes, monosites, eosinophiles, and basophiles.

Each WBC subtype plays a specific role in the immune response. For example, neutrophils are responsible for killing bacteria and fungi, while lymphocytes produce antibodies to fight the virus. Without the WBC enough, the body is at risk of infection and disease.

The increasing white blood cells, also known as leuksitosis, can indicate fundamental health problems. While it sounds worrying, it can be a normal response to certain situations, such as infection or stress. However, in some cases, this could be a sign of a more serious condition.
