WBC can fluctuate and you really need to look at the breakdown of the white blood count. It's a differential count. You want to track the lymphs and absolute neutrophil counts (ANC), which sometimes called granulocytes.

I am unclear on reading my labs... It says 271, and the ref range is 140-440 K/uL. I have NO idea what this means. Do you know how to decipher?
