My Mom's wbc was low the other day, so she was given a shot of neulasta to boost it...but this is way beyond the normal range of 3.5 - 11. Has anyone else had this type of reaction?

hi, I think you`ve got your RBC`s confused with your WBC`s.........normal WBC count is between 6000 and 10,000...so, 51 is really low..........Dee

I'm looking at the lab report, itindicates the wbc @ 51.8 k/uL. It says the acceptable reference range is 3.5 - 11, with an alert that it is really high. The doc said if it doesn't go down she's concerned that her blood could sludge. The rbc is listed @ 3.8 M/uL with an acceptable reference range of 3.88 - 5.26, so thats a little low. I don't know what K/uL or M/uL mean. I went off the deep end when I was told they haven't seen a wbc so high and that this wasn't a good thing. No infection is present and they don't believe it is anything else (cancer) that would cause this spike. I'm off to the hospital to see if thing have improved.
