White blood cells or leukocytes are cells of the immune system which defend the body against both infectious disease and foreign materials. Several different and diverse types of leukocytes exist, however they are all produced and derived from a pluripotent cell in the bone marrow known as a hematopoietic stem cell. Leukocytes are found throughout the body, including the blood and lymphatic system.
The number of leukocytes in the blood is often an indicator of disease. There are normally between 4Ã109 and 11Ã109 white blood cells in a liter of blood, making up approximately 1% of blood in a healthy adult. If the guy have leukemia thw
number of leukocytes is higher than normal , and in leukopenia this number is much lower.

Normal white blood count is 4,500 to 10,000 cells per microliter. Anything higher may indicate infection, use of certain drugs, or emotional or physical stress, just to name a few.

it depends upon the patient population. normal is a relative term. normal lab results are determined by the medical lab along with medical staff. most labs have a normal between 4.5 and 11. extremes are below 2.0 and above 25.0. cancer treatment centers have wider ranges.
