There are so many things other than blood disorders that can cause an elevated ANC. Yours appear to still be within normal ranges unless the lab you use has a different reference range.

Have they ruled out chronic inflammation? Check to see if they ran a high sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and homocysteine levels. There are other markers but I think these are pretty easy to run. If the tests indicate inflammation, then there are things you can do explore to reduce your inflammation.

Even something like anxiety and stress can elevate WBC and platelets.
