What is the reason for high white blood cell count in pregnant women?

Pregnancy is a special period, which requires different examinations, such as routine blood tests, routine urine tests, etc. When doing routine urine tests, white blood cells need to be tested. Of course, some pregnant women will have high white blood cell counts in urine tests. What causes this condition? Only when we understand the cause can we take appropriate measures.

Introduction to blood routine test: Blood routine test includes four items: hemoglobin determination, red blood cell count, white blood cell count and white blood cell differential count. a. Hemoglobin (Hb): Normal males are 120-160 g/L, females are 110-150 g/L, and newborns are 170-200 g/L.

It is normal for the blood volume to increase after pregnancy and the white blood cell count to be high. If there are no other abnormal symptoms, you do not need to take medicine and just need to do regular prenatal checkups and follow-up examinations. Usually pay attention to drink more water.

During a normal pregnancy, leukocytosis will occur, starting from the 7th to 8th week of pregnancy and reaching a peak at 30 weeks, about 5-12, sometimes up to 14-16.

A high or low white blood cell count may indicate a disease involving the white blood cell system.

An increase in white blood cell count is seen in acute infection, uremia, acute bleeding from severe burns, tissue damage, leukemia after major surgery, etc.

However, due to normal physiological changes caused by blood dilution during pregnancy, the white blood cell count will be higher, but it is generally within the normal range for pregnant women, so there is no need to worry. Just be a expectant mother with peace of mind, no need to take medicine.

The normal range of white blood cells is between 4 and 10. Some patients may have slightly higher or lower counts, but if there are no symptoms, there is generally no problem.

Generally, high white blood cell count is caused by G-bacterial infection or blood disease, while low white blood cell count is generally caused by G+bacterial infection or blood disease.

The above are the reasons why pregnant women have high white blood cell counts in urine. If you also have this situation, you need to find out your own reasons from the above reasons and you must pay enough attention to it. Because high white blood cell counts in urine can also cause tissue damage, acute infection, etc., which are not good for the development of the fetus, so you must seek treatment as soon as possible.
