Please help me interpret my hs CRP value, which is reported as 14.42 mg/L in my blood test. When I consulted my doctor, they mentioned that hs CRP can increase due to any type of inflammation in the body. I recently underwent an RCT and a tooth implant procedure. Should I repeat the test to reassess the hs CRP level, or is this elevation expected due to the recent dental treatments?

hs-CRP is more than 10 mg/L often indicates acute inflammation. Dental procedures can raise levels temporarily. If no fever or symptoms now, wait 1 to 2 weeks and repeat.
