Please consult to provide more details. There are various causes for increased CRP ranging from mild infections to autoimmune diseases. So it's better to consult early and get some more tests done.

**Dear Patient,**
A consistently elevated CRP level (43 and 48) in the absence of obvious symptoms like fever or pain is unusual and warrants further investigation. While CRP is a marker of inflammation, persistently high values could indicate underlying conditions such as:
1. **Hidden Infections** (e.g., urinary tract, dental, or silent abscesses).
2. **Chronic Inflammatory Disorders** (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or inflammatory bowel disease).
3. **Metabolic/Cardiovascular Risks** (e.g., insulin resistance, early atherosclerosis).
4. **Other Causes** (e.g., stress, obesity, or rare autoimmune conditions).
**Next Steps:**
- **Do NOT ignore these results.** A detailed history, physical examination, and additional tests (e.g., CBC, ESR, ANA, imaging) are needed to identify the cause.
- **Avoid self-diagnosis.** Lifestyle changes or random treatments without proper evaluation may delay detecting a serious issue.
**Consultation Required:**
Kindly schedule a consultation with me for a structured workup. Persistent inflammation can have long-term consequences if left unaddressed.
**For priority assistance, reach me on WhatsApp at "Eight Zero Zero Nine Eight Two One Three Three Two.
