Answer #1

white blood cells increase slightly, so do the red blood cells but thats about it… so no not really

Answer #2

I guess it was the way you worded it…

Answer #3

@informer220 Depends on the reason the doctor ordered the test…routine physical or something such as abdominal pain, constipation, etc. I just didn’t understand your connection of elevated WBC or RBC. Neither which should be elevated unless there is an underlying diagnosis such as infection or perhaps polycythemia.

Answer #4

I said small amount of course not surpassing the usual maximum of R/WBC number… or even really showing any significant increase… O_o I was just saying what could be seen on a simple test… nothing more…

Answer #5

@utopia

the doctor will be looking specifically for the hcg not if its simple blood test… I think the user is asking about a standard blood test… a doctor wont check unless YOU ask him too…

Answer #6

Yes, if a physicain orders a hcg, then yes you can tell from a blood sample. In fact, a serum hcg is much more accurate than a urine hcg. As for the WBCs and RBCs increasing, informer, what are you talking about?
