Well looking at your labs, you're probably a smoker, and your white blood cell count is fairly high, which could possibly be signaling that there is a brewing infection somewhere in your body.

Without symptoms though, I can't guess where the infection may be coming from. Or it could be nothing at all, so I wouldn't worry too much about it, unless the bruise on your left buttock was from some sort of trauma, which then could explain it. Also if you had abrasions or a puncture of skin in that area, you should watch it for infection.
