So they tell me.

I was asking about the units. From what I read from my last blood test, the upper recommended limit was 10 million per liter IIRC

[Sava]

I wouldn't know. I was told 11.5 is the upper range of normal.

Don't know about units.

[N35t0r]

They don't give you a paper copy of your bloodwork?

[Sava]

Yes, they do.

[Proteus_MST]

Normally one would expect them to include the units used for every value that you can find there (as they can vary greatly ... be it mmol, µg or whatever)

I don't think I've ever seen units listed on a lab report.

I'm sure rules about such things vary.

IIUC, things like white blood cell count are actual counts put through a formula.

Guy and DS would be able to give a better answer.

Do I has Ebola?

[Uncle Sparky]

It's probably just the syphilis, so don't worry. Eat an orange.

[The Mad Monk]

If you want Guy or DS to respond, you might want to rethink your thread title.

You know, something like "High white cell count -- AM I DYING???

Something like that.

[kentonio]

Urg that sucks. Hope you get better soon dude.

[Sava]

Setting up my stool sample was very undignified

[Imran Siddiqui]

Obviously you are dying...

But hopefully that doesn't come for a number of spammy years.

At least here, I get the number, units, method used and (in most cases) acceptable range.

In my case, for white cells, for example, it was million cells per liter.
