Question 1

I'm feeling really worried because I've had a fever for the last four days. I got some tests done and my urine epithelial cells count came back at 45, but everything else in the urine test, including pus cells, is within the normal range. Should I be concerned about the high epithelial cells, or could it just be related to the fever? Would love to get your advice on this.

Accepted Answer

There are many causes of fever, just with this amount history it's difficult to diagnose.

Question 2

I'm really worried because my CRP level is way higher than normal at 39.1. I've also been dealing with a high fever. What could be causing this and how should I go about treating it?

Accepted Answer

Common causes of elevated CRP levels include infections, inflammatory conditions, tissue injury, and chronic diseases. To treat this, you may need to address the underlying cause. If it is due to an infection, antibiotics may be prescribed. If it is due to inflammation, anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen or naproxen may be recommended. In the case of chronic diseases, managing the underlying condition is important. For your high fever, you can take acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) to help reduce the fever and make sure to stay hydrated. Rest is also important to help your body fight off the infection or inflammation. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management based on your specific condition.

Question 3

I'm a bit concerned about my C-reactive protein levels. I just got my blood test results and it shows a CRP level of 2.90 mgL. Is that considered normal, or should I be worried about this? What typically is the normal range for CRP?

Accepted Answer

Excess body heat despite adequate hydration can be caused by:

1. Hormonal imbalances
2. Thyroid issues
3. Infections
4. Medication side effects
5. Environmental factors (climate, humidity)

If you experience:

- Persistent fever
- Night sweats
- Fatigue
- Weight loss

I'm trying to understand my test results. It mentions both "Nonreactive" and "Reactive," and I'm a bit confused. Does that mean the result is negative or positive?
