Question 1

Hello, My mother has had a fever for the past 4 days along with a cough. Her latest test results show a platelet count of 99, blood sugar around 300, and CRP of 28.43. I have attached the test report for reference.

Question 2

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?

Question 3

In my recent blood report, my RA factor is below 8, which my doctor said is normal. However, I have been experiencing symptoms suggestive of rheumatoid arthritis, including pain in both shoulders, hips, and knees, as well as mild pain in my fingers and toes. When I stretch my arms and legs, I hear cracking sounds from the joints. These symptoms started about two months ago. I also feel very weak, fatigued, and unable to focus on work. My CRP level is 12 (normal is 6). I want to understand if these symptoms could be related to the slightly elevated CRP, whether my RA factor may increase in the future, and if the RA factor might not be showing up because my symptoms have only been present for a short duration.

My test results are CRP 18.6 mg/L, RA factor test 12 IU/ml, and anti CCP antibodies serum greater than 340. I also have diabetes.

High anti CCP strongly suggests rheumatoid arthritis. CRP also indicates active inflammation. RA factor is borderline. Consult a rheumatologist for treatment to prevent joint damage.
