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.

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?

My CRP is 46. Is it too high? Am I in danger? I have fever, cold and body pain for 5 days and I am taking Abphylline tablet along with Montek LC. Fever is not going away. My ESR and CRP are high. Am I safe? Please check my report.

My daughter is having fever for the last four days. Our pediatrician said it is a viral infection since it is in the air. But after blood reports were done her blood report shows CRP is 161. What does it mean? Please help me
