White blood 12,000/mmcubed. how many white blood cells in 5 Liters?

Answer 1

60 Billion.

First off, mmcubed is the same as uL (microliter) or 1 millionth of a liter and is the term most used by clinical laboratories these days. The WBC of 12K/uL would be at or near the upper limit of the normal or reference range. Extraneous info, I know. . .

12,000/uL = 12,000,000,000/L X 5L = 60,000,000,000

Answer 2

White blood cells or leucocytes are cells which form a component of the blood. They are produced in the bone marrow and help to defend the body against infectious disease and foreign materials as part of the immune system.
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of normal circulating human blood. One can see red blood cells, several knobby white blood cells including lymphocytes, a monocyte, a neutrophil, and many small disc-shaped platelets.

There are normally between 4×10^9 and 1.1×10^10 white blood cells in a litre of healthy adult blood. In conditions such as leukemia this may rise to as many as 50,000 white blood cells in a single drop of blood(only 1% of blood on average is a white blood cell). As well as in the blood, white cells are also found in large numbers in the lymphatic system, the spleen, and in other body tissues.

i assume you had a complete blood count done.. if it says 12000, i think you have an ongoing infection.. wbc's are trying to fight that off..
