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?

A positive CRP indicates inflammation or infection. It is not a disease itself but a marker. Follow the doctor advice, and once the cause is treated, CRP usually returns to normal.

Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...

Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

My father received the Covaxin vaccine on 3rd April. For the past 15 days, he has had a fever ranging from 99 to 101F, which is partially relieved with Crocin. COVID antigen and RTPCR tests were negative. He is also experiencing shortness of breath (28 breaths per minute). His recent blood reports show: RBC: 2.1 million/microlitre Hemoglobin: 9.2 g/dl WBC: 14.4 by 10000/microlitre CRP: 217 Serum creatinine: 3.21 mg/dl Iron: 24 microgram/dl Bilirubin direct: 0.6 mg/dl Urine report is normal, with no pus or abnormalities, and he has no issues while passing urine. Could his continuous fever, shortness of breath, and anemia be due to kidney problems? Please advise what could be causing these symptoms and the next steps for evaluation and treatment.
