These drugs lower the white blood cell count to a greater degree than the counts of other blood cells â red blood cells and platelets â although these are commonly affected, too. Fortunately, the effect of these drugs on the white blood cell count is usually both predictable and short-lived. The white cell count generally falls below the normal range about seven to ten days after a chemotherapy treatment and recovers within about a week after that.
White blood cell count (WBC) White blood cells are the cells that fight off infections. There are many different types that have different functions and are usually listed as neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. An elevated WBC is an indicator of infection or inflammation. An increase in the WBC along with pain over the liver and fever may indicate cholangitis (infection in the bile ducts). The WBC is sometimes chronically elevated in PSC, especially when there is ch ronic cholangitis.
