Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together. High leukocyte level is an indication of which of the following is it answer choice. A blood loss, answer choice B blood clotting problem. Answer choice C an infection or answer choice D vitamin B 12 deficiency. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer choices would result in having a high leukocyte level. So in order to solve this question, we have to recall what we have learned about the leukocytes. And which of the following answer choices would cause a high leukocyte level. And we can recall that the leukocytes or the white blood cells are crucial for the body's defense against pathogens. And in the presence of an infection, the body may increase leukocyte production in order to combat and eliminate that invading pathogen. So the reason for that high leukocyte level is that the body may have increased leukocyte production in order to combat and eliminate an invading pathogen. So the high leukocyte level is an indication of answer choice C an infection since the presence of an infection would result in an increase in leukocyte production. Leading to those high leukocyte levels and all other answer choices are incorrect. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
