Brief Answer:
hi and welcome to hcm
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the query
This is still not significant level of both these blood cells and you dont have to be worried at this point. Wbc tend to fluctuate and even after 2 days finding may change. sometimes it can be caused by stress,chronic infection, rheumatoid diseases but in most cases no obvious cause is found especially if there are no symptoms. I suggest only to repeat wbc in2-3 weeks,if there is still increase then you should visit hematologist. wish you good health. Regards
