Accepted Answer

Concerning test results can be worrisome.

_Possible reasons for high CRP:_

1. _Inflammation_: High CRP levels indicate inflammation in the body.
2. _Infection_: Bacterial or viral infections can cause elevated CRP.
3. _Autoimmune disorders_: Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus can lead to high CRP.
4. _Vitamin D deficiency_: Severe vitamin D deficiency, like your husband's, can contribute to inflammation.

_Red skin and pain:_

1. _Inflammatory response_: The red skin and pain in the wrist could be an inflammatory response, possibly related to the high CRP.

_Prescribed medications and supplements:_

1. _Calcirol (Vitamin D)_: Will help address the severe vitamin D deficiency, which may contribute to reducing inflammation.
2. _COQ10_: This antioxidant may help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation.
3. _Shellcal HD 12 (Calcium supplement)_: Will support bone health, but its direct impact on CRP levels is unclear.

_Additional recommendations:_

1. _Monitor CRP levels_: Regularly check CRP levels to assess the effectiveness of treatment.
2. _Address underlying causes_: Identify and address underlying causes of inflammation, such as infections or autoimmune disorders.
3. _Maintain a healthy lifestyle_: Encourage your husband to maintain a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and manage stress.
