Leukocytes Meaning
Leukocytes are white blood cells. White blood cells are part of the immune system.
Leukocytes Normal value
The normal range for white blood cell (leukocyte) counts is between 4.41 and 8.65 million per microliter (/ pL) for men and between 4.2 and 9.5 million per microliter (/ pL) for women.
Leukocytes too high
An elevated white blood cell count usually indicates inflammation.
Low white blood cell count
A low white blood cell count means that the body is less able to fight infections. This can lead to increased susceptibility to disease and prolonged healing processes.
Leukocytes Value in Blood
| Result | Unit | Value min-max | Age | Gender | Biomarker interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deviant | / pL | 0 - 4.2 | 18 - 100 | Man | The number of white blood cells (leukocytes) is outside the normal range and is too low. The interpretation depends on other blood values. |
| Caution | / pL | 4.2 - 4.41 | 18 - 100 | Man | The number of white blood cells (leukocytes) is still within the normal range but is on the low side. |
| Normal | / pL | 4.41 - 8.65 | 18 - 100 | Man | The number of white blood cells (leukocytes) is good. |
| Caution | / pL | 8.65 - 9.1 | 18 - 100 | Man | The number of white blood cells (leukocytes) is still within the normal range but is on the high side. |
| Deviant | / pL | 9.1 - 300 | 18 - 100 | Man | The number of white blood cells (leukocytes) is outside the normal range and is too high. Interpretation depends on other blood values. |
| Deviant | / pL | 0 - 4 | 18 - 100 | Woman | The number of white blood cells (leukocytes) is outside the normal range and is too low. Interpretation depends on other blood values. |
| Caution | / pL | 4 - 4.2 | 18 - 100 | Woman | The number of white blood cells (leukocytes) is still within the normal range but is on the low side. |
| Normal | / pL | 4.2 - 9.5 | 18 - 100 | Woman | The number of white blood cells (leukocytes) is good. |
| Caution | / pL | 9.5 - 10 | 18 - 100 | Woman | The number of white blood cells (leukocytes) is still within the normal range but is on the high side. |
| Deviant | / pL | 10 - 300 | 18 - 100 | Woman | The number of white blood cells (leukocytes) is outside the normal range and is too high. Interpretation depends on other values in the blood. |
