I just had lab tests this past Friday.  The dr. called and said she needs more blood and urine for further tests.  Since 2002 everytime I have tests I have an elevated white blood cell count.  My temp runs around 97.4 F.  What could be causing this since its been the same everytime I have lab tests?

Just wanted to know whether you have any complaints like cough, sore throat, burning micturition or any other significant complaints. Your doctor wanted to look for how much exactly the count and pattern of your complete blood count. If I had been your doctor I would have your Complete blood count with peripheral smear examination, urine examination to look for infection by pus cells and red blood cells in urine. Would have considered the most according to your complaints and your investigative profile first. So have your tests done. Follow with reports and complaints. Thanks for asking Chat Doctor. Take care. Ask freely to clear your doubt.
