I got my blood test done yesterday and the results show: Lipoprotein (a): 60.38 mg/dl hsCRP: 3.8 mg/L Total cholesterol: 245 mg/dl LDL: 175 mg/dl I am worried about these values. A day before the test I had cold and throat pain, could that have affected the results, especially hsCRP? I have attached the reports for your review.

Values indicate high cardiac risk. Cold can slightly raise hsCRP but not lipoprotein(a). Lifestyle and medical management are needed. Please repeat hsCRP after recovery.

After my mother blood test results, we found that her C reactive protein is positive. Is this a major concern? Could you please suggest preventive measures?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My mother recently underwent a full body checkup, and the cardiac risk markers test showed that her High Sensitivity C Reactive Protein (HS CRP) level is 14.83, whereas the normal level should be less than 3. Should she undergo any additional tests to check for possible cardiac issues?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been experiencing a high fever for the past 3 days, along with intense headache, chest pain, and body aches. My CRP level in the blood test is 25 mg/L, and my blood pressure is 110/78 mmHg. Could you please advise what might be causing these symptoms and what treatment or tests are recommended?
