So having an abnormally high number (over 8000 or so) means that something has triggered your immune system fairly drastically, but it come come from a plethora of factors. Stress, infection, renal (kidney) failure, anemia (iron deficiency), eclampsia (pregancy complication), and in some cases cancer.

Answer 2
