I know low wbc is normal during a flare but I currently have a high wbc count and I am thinking there is some kidney involvement due to other symptoms. Does anyone else have a high wbc count during a flare? If so, what does it mean for you?

Think that means your count is up, so in medical terms you either are having a glare from an infection somewhere. I can't be 100 percent, but that's how they know.
My count goes up when feeling bad too. Sorry I can't offer much more than this
