Episode 051: Heme Consults Series- Approach to Inpatient Leukocytosis

We are kicking off our intermittent “Heme Consults Series” with a great overview of the approach to leukocytosis, a common question we get on the wards. In this episode, we talk about the initial steps we should take to triage these cases and what we should be thinking about in regards to next steps.

Also - a huge shoutout to one of our listeners who had emailed us and said this is a common question that puzzles them in their work as a hospitalist! If there is something that you’d like to hear us cover in this series, definitely reach out!
