When total leukocytes are high means that you have an infection or inflammation in the body. Thank you.
When a leukocyte count is high, it may reflect inflammation or infection. If it is very high, a doctor should get labs to further investigate, and make sure your blood will not become hyperviscous and cause damage to organs.
