I couldn’t find any information saying prednisone would cause an elevated WBC. You asked earlier about your lab results and the norms. I found this and thought it might be helpful. The normal ranges in most labs are: red blood cells (RBC): 4 to 6 million cells per microliter white blood cells (WBC): 5,000 to 10,000 cells per microliter hematocrit: for women, 36% to 45%; for men 41% to 47% hemoglobin: for women, 12 to 15 grams per deciliter; for men, 14 to 16 grams per deciliter platelets: 150,000 to 450,000 per microliter. These ranges may vary from lab to lab. Normal ranges are usually shown next to your results in the lab report.
