Hello. Do you have a higher than normal red blood cell count? If so, you may need to watch out on this. Dehydration is a cause to higher WBC but it won't be after you take enough liquid. Higher RBC can be caused by certain diseases, including heart/lung diseases, and blood cell production disorders.
