High CRP and low platelets suggest infection/inflammation, possibly viral. Uncontrolled sugar worsens recovery. Monitor sugars closely and consult physician for fever source.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a DENGUE PROFILE (IGG & IGM ANTIBODY & NS1 ANTIGEN) Test

Hi Doctor. My mother, aged 57, in her regular blood test report got the value of hs CRP as 6.9. There is no history of cardiovascular issues. Is this a cause for concern?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I got my blood test done yesterday and the results show: Lipoprotein (a): 60.38 mg/dl hsCRP: 3.8 mg/L Total cholesterol: 245 mg/dl LDL: 175 mg/dl I am worried about these values. A day before the test I had cold and throat pain, could that have affected the results, especially hsCRP? I have attached the reports for your review.

He has had a fever for the past 6 to 7 days, but it has not occurred in the last 2 days. However, he is now experiencing a burning sensation in his stomach. His blood test shows a CRP (Quantitative) level of 12. Please advise what this could indicate and what steps should be taken next.
