WBC

Health Care Term


White Blood Cells (WBCs), also called leukocytes, are a crucial part of the body's immune system and play a vital role in defending the body against infections and diseases.

In the healthcare industry, WBCs are commonly used as a diagnostic tool to indicate the presence of infection, inflammation or other illnesses. A complete blood count (CBC) test is a standard blood test that measures the levels of WBCs in the body. An abnormally high or low number of WBCs in the blood can indicate a variety of conditions, such as bacterial or viral infections, leukemia or inflammation.

Additionally, specific types of white blood cells, such as eosinophils, basophils, and neutrophils, are used to diagnose specific conditions. For instance, increased levels of eosinophils suggest allergic or parasitic conditions, while high levels of neutrophils indicate bacterial infections.

WBCs can also be used in the treatment of certain types of cancer, such as leukemia and lymphoma. In these cases, immune system cells from a donor are used to replace the patient's own WBCs that have been destroyed by chemotherapy or radiation treatments.

Overall, the measurement of WBCs is an essential tool in the diagnosis and treatment of a range of health conditions.
