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.

Values indicate high cardiac risk. Cold can slightly raise hsCRP but not lipoprotein(a). Lifestyle and medical management are needed. Please repeat hsCRP after recovery.

I had a fever, took medicine, and recovered. However, I got fever again after 8 days (102F). I consulted a doctor who prescribed medication, but my fever persists around 100 to 101F. I underwent several tests: Typhidot IgM: Negative Blood culture: Negative CBC: Normal The doctor prescribed Taxim O and Calpol 500, and the fever subsided for 3 days but then returned to the same temperature. I switched to another doctor who ran further tests: Thyroid (T3, T4, TSH): Normal C reactive protein: Positive (43 mg/L) Liver function tests: Total bilirubin 1.5 mg/dL, Direct bilirubin 0.23 mg/dL, ALT/SGPT 79 IU/L Currently, when I take paracetamol, the fever reduces temporarily, but it returns after 5 to 6 hours. What could be the cause of this persistent low grade fever, and what should be the next steps?

I am a 20 year old boy working in a chemical factory. I have been experiencing fever for the past month. After consulting a doctor, I was advised to undergo a C reactive protein test, and the report is attached. We are unsure about the significance of the high CRP value and would like your help in understanding the report.
