Causes
High neutrophil levels, also known as neutrophilia, are usually a sign that your body is fighting off an infection. Your body produces more neutrophils when it needs to defend itself against bacteria or viruses, so neutrophilia is typically caused by an injury, a bacterial infection, surgery, or inflammation. It also can be caused by smoking, excessive exercise, steroid use, or mental stress.
High neutrophil levels are usually harmless and will return to normal after you recover from the infection or injury. However, if your neutrophil levels stay elevated for a long time, it could be a sign of a chronic illness or inflammatory disease.
Treatment & Medication
If you have an underlying condition that's causing the high neutrophil levels, your doctor will treat that condition. If your neutrophil levels remain elevated, your doctor will probably recommend periodic blood tests to keep an eye on them.
Useful Information
Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that help with your body's immune response. They move throughout your veins and tissues to attack antigens like bacteria and viruses. It's important to maintain a normal level of neutrophils to stay safe and healthy.
