Leukocytosis. Leukocytosis is defined as a condition where the white blood cell (WBC) count is increased. Symptoms of leukocytosis results in the abnormal increase in WBC count.
ANSWER: Leukocytosis is the Greek word we use to describe elevated white blood cell counts. In my hospital's laboratory, the normal range is from 3,500 to 11,000, so yours wouldn't be considered elevated. Normal in this context means that 95 percent of the healthy population is within that range, which implies that about 2.5 percent of healthy people will have a white blood cell count over 11,000.
