The units on them are different - the red cells are in millions per cubic millimeter, the white cells are in thousands. Everyone has way more red cells than white. When it comes to the specific numbers on labs, we don't compare them like that.
[8 F] Higher WBC than RBC?My 8 year old daughter had labs and her WBC was 8.8 thousand and RBC 4.76. These are both in normal range, but is it actually ok if there are more WBC than red?We do have two doc appts this week for follow up, but my pediatrician did not notate anything about this in the system notes, only made a note for her to increase zinc intake based on her slightly low zinc.She has a variety of other health symptoms that we havent figure out also, but Im just curious if this is specifically alarming.Im sure Im over thinking it. I definitely have some medical anxiety since my mother passed last year, which I completely acknowledge. Thanks for any input!EDIT TO ADD: Conditions- bladder area pain (working with urology), abdominal pain, sometimes has protein in urine, burning feet/neuropathy (new symptom- one month), urine leakage during daytime, pale/flushed face, general malaise
