Correlates of leukocyte counts in men

Annals of Epidemiology, 1996
Because of previously reported associations between a high leukocyte count and risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD), we examined the relation of leukocyte counts to various characteristics among 3591 white and 506 black 31- to 45-year-old men. The mean leukocyte count was approximately 1000 cells/microL higher among whites than among blacks, and ...

The leukocyte count in saliva

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, 1958
Abstract The number of lcukocytes in the saliva has been counted for healthy persons with and without teeth and for persons with an inflammatory process in the region of the oral cavity. In the toothless, healthy mouth the leukocyte count is considerably lower (1 to 143 cells per 1 c.mm.) than in the healthy mouth with teeth (110 to 1,364 cells per ...

Platelet and Leukocyte Counts in Pregnancy

Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1980
Platelets and leukocytes in venous blood were counted with automated methodology in 23 women studied longitudinally throughout pregnancy and at six weeks after delivery. The average platelet count declined monotonically in a manner consistent with the gestational increase in blood volume.

Leukocyte Counts in Healthy Adults

American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1971
In an attempt to resolve the uncertainty concerning normal values for leukocyte counts and their possible variation with age and sex, total and differential leukocyte counts in 507 healthy adults were analyzed. Values approximated those previously reported, with the exception of lymphocytes, for which our 97.5 percentile was lower.

Relationship between serum γ-glutamyltransferase level and leukocyte count in Korean children and adolescents

Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 2015
BACKGROUND: Elevated γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) is an important risk factor for cardiometabolic diseases, which may result from chronic low-grade inflammation.

High Leukocyte Count Is Associated With Peripheral Vascular Dysfunction in Individuals With Low Cardiovascular Risk [PDF]

Circulation Journal, 2013
BACKGROUND: Vascular dysfunction is a surrogate marker of early-stage atherosclerosis. Serum leukocyte count is a non-traditional risk factor of cardiovascular (CV) disease and has predictive value for CV outcome. The aim of this study was to investigate

The leukocyte count: A predictor of hypertension

Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, 1990
In an exploratory study of 1031 persons observed to progress from normotension to essential hypertension and 1031 matched subjects who remained normotensive, the initial leukocyte count (WBC) was found to be related to the development of hypertension, with risk increased 40% (95% confidence interval 12-82%) in persons in the highest as compared to the ...

Leukocyte Count in Childhood Pneumonia

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1971
Three hundred forty-five children under 16 years of age with pneumonia confirmed by roentgenogram were studied to determine in what way the leukocyte count correlates with the patient's clinical course. The study confirms that the initial white blood cell count indeed helps predict which child will respond rapidly to antibiotic therapy.

Biologic Variability of Leukocyte Count

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1972
Excerpt To the editor: I enjoyed the article, "Chronic Idiopathic Leukocytosis," by Ward and Reinhard in the August 1971 issue, but it seems to me that the authors might have given a better perspec...
