My grandmother recent blood reports show the following, sodium level is 119, CRP is 238, and postprandial blood sugar is 582. She also has hypothyroidism and is currently on medication for ischemic heart disease, cholesterol, and hypertension. She is extremely weak and has lost her appetite. Are these report values very serious, and what should be done next?

Very low sodium, high CRP and sugar indicate critical condition. Needs hospital care, electrolyte correction, infection control. Monitor closely.

I am 32 years old and recently tested positive for COVID 19. I have undergone tests for CRP, dengue, CBC, malaria, and typhoid, and all reports came back normal except for my CRP level, which is 77.46 mg/L. What does this mean, and should I be concerned?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have had a fever for the past 5 days, around 101F in the morning and night, along with body pain and cough. I have been taking antibiotics and Dolo, but the fever is not going away. My recent blood test shows a C reactive protein (CRP) level of 46. I have attached my report for your review. Could you please check it and advise if something is wrong and what I should do next?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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?
