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

My CRP value is 3.7 mg per L. My lab report mentions that it should be less than 5 mg per L, but online sources say it should be under 3 mg per L. Which one is correct? Does this mean I have any infection or inflammation?

Can you please let me know if the attached lab report is normal or not? My mother is 50 years old and her CRP is 8.4 mg/l. Is that serious? Please refer to the attachment?
