What Causes High WBC Count And Blood In Urine?

i have low platelets, high wbc count, and now i find out i have a little blood in my urine. No infections. my wbc count has been high for a while (kinda up and down), so my doctor sent me to an oncologist-blood specialist, she just seems to think i am a puzzle, and a rare case of someone who just has high wbc, cause i smoke. all the symptoms i look up all have the word cancer some where in the diagnosis. Should i be worried, or just go get checked again in three months.

This is unlikely to be cancer. it is probably just a urinary tract infection. because of infection the wbc count is on the higher end and because of this more number of platelets are getting destroyed in the blood ( by the macrophages ) . the bleeding manifestation Is because of this decreased platelet count. the patient should be started on antibiotics like nitrofurantoin and if any burning sensation is there during urination then can add a nsaid to your treatment.
