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.

Hello doctor I did my chest X ray after 23 days of being covid positive. Currently I have a little bit of coughing tiredness and a slight feverish feeling from inside. As per my report is there anything to worry about?

My IL 6 level is 23.1 pg/mL and CRP is 44 mg/L. It is the 18th day since the onset of my COVID 19 symptoms. My oxygen saturation is between 92 to 94 percent. Could you please advise on the next steps and whether I need urgent medical attention?

I tested positive for COVID 19 on 6th May and started the prescribed medications. My blood reports on 11th May showed CRP 12 mg per L and D Dimer 1.730 mg per L. I began steroids (Medrol) in a tapering dose schedule, and my 16th May report showed CRP 1.62 mg per L and D Dimer 0.04 mg per L. I am currently on the second dose of steroids and have no symptoms. I am continuing the steroid course and would like advice on how to safely boost my immunity.
