CRP is a non-specific indicator of inflammation. Elevated CRP is associated with an increased risk of CVD (Cardiovascular disease). A CRP value between 3-10 mg/L is associated with a high CVD risk. You should have the following tests done: Lipid Panel. CBC (Hemogram). ESR. There are other tests, but this is a good start.

Hello dear patient high hs crp levels are often used to predict risk of cardiac disease. It is important to remember that both CRP and hs-CRP become elevated in a wide range of acute and chronic inflammatory conditions such as infections, rheumatic arthritis, many other inflammatory diseases, and many cancers. So unless proper history is taken about your problems one cannot say what's high crp levels meant for your health. Kindly follow up with your medical history to discuss the case. Tc
