They are responsible for protecting the body against infections and foreign bodies. The concentration of white blood cells in the blood stream is a key indicator of health. The normal concentration of white blood cells in the body for men and non-pregnant women is usually considered to be in the range of 4,500 to 10,000 leukocytes per microliter. A high white blood cell count usually indicates and the presence of an infection that the body is trying to fight. It may also suggest:• Anemia• Adrenal or thyroid gland issues• Bone marrow disease• Immune system disorders• Inflammatory disease• Leukemia• Medication-induced increase of leukocytes• Severe stress• Tissue damage.
