White blood cells are bloody cells that are an essential part of the immune system, and their essential function is to defend the body against pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, as well as contributing to the immune response, and it is produced in the bone marrow, and spreads in the blood and lymphoma.
What are the white blood cells?
It is characterized by its ability to move towards infection sites or inflammation through the process of what is known as chemical attraction and swallows the damaged microbes and cells through phagocytology, or by secreting antibodies.
The normal number of white blood cells in the blood ranges from 4,000 to 11,000 cells/mcolter in adults, and it may vary according to age and health condition.
Types of white blood cells
The type of pellets is its role
Novers make up 55-70% of white blood cells, and usually respond to bacterial infection.
Lymphocytes
It plays a role in the immune response against viruses and cancer cells
The only ones help to break the exotic organisms and damaged tissues.
Acid
It rises in cases of allergies and parasites
The rules are involved in allergic reactions
The importance of white blood cells
Defense against all types of bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic infections, as it has a role in coordinating and regulating the immune response between lymphocytes, as it attacks infected cells, produces antibodies, as well as maintaining immune memory, which helps the body to respond rapidly when exposed to the same microbe again.
White blood cells remove damaged and dead cells, as it cleans the body from dead or damaged cells and rebuilding tissues, as it helps in wound healing, has a major role in detecting diseases by detecting any infection, inflammation, immunity or blood, or cancers such as leukemia.
Why the numbers of white blood cells rise?
The height is due to several causes, including the occurrence of bacterial infection such as sore throat, pneumonia, appendicitis, or viral such as influenza, measles, or coffee-19 (sometimes) or parasitic infection such as amoeba or worms, and fungal infection in cases of immunodeficiency.
In addition to the occurrence of chronic infections such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or inflammatory bowel disease (such as Crohn or ulcerative colon), in addition to the occurrence of cancer and blood disorders, leukemia (leukemia), excessive and abnormal production of white cells, lymphoma, bone marrow tumors or pomegranate reproductive diseases.
The reasons for the increase in white blood cells are due to acute or emotional tension, or physical stress such as burns, bleeding, or injuries, and psychological stress can temporarily raise blood cells, along with the use of some medications such as: cortisone and its derivatives, lithium, and epinephine.
The number of white blood cells may increase in the event of allergic diseases and immune reactions, such as asthma, seasonal allergies, hyperplasia reactions (such as an allergy shock), and chronic smoking may constantly raise white blood cells, as well as the occurrence of autoimmune disorders, as the immune system attacks the body’s tissues, causing chronic infections and a height in the cells, and that the removal of the spleen may lead to a slightly permanent rise in blood flowers White, because the spleen helps get rid of it.
The risk of white blood cells
If white blood cells are very high with severe fever, pain or swelling, nervous or respiratory symptoms, or leukemia, then you must consult a doctor before the problem is exacerbated.
Treat white blood cells
The height of white blood cells is not a disease in itself, but rather an indication of a disease, so the treatment depends on treating the primary cause, as we will explain the following table:
Type of infection
Treatment is an example
Bacterial infection
Treatment: Antibiotics is determined according to the type of bacteria.
In almond inflammation or pneumonia
Viral infection
Comfort, fluids, heat antibiotics are sometimes used anti -virals such as acyclovir (for diseases such as herpes).
Chronic infections or autoimmune diseases
Treatment: immunosuppressive medications such as
Cortisone and methotrexate such as lupus or arthritis.
Tumors and leukemia
Chemotherapy
• Radiotherapy
• Bone marrow transplantation
• Treatment caused by height is leukemia (leukemia/leukemia)
