HS-CRP 5.1? Should I be concerned?
I had a general health test along with my regular hypothyroid tests and HS CRP came out 5.1 which is supposed to be less than 3 according to the reports. And Lipoprotein A is 33.
What does that indicate and should I be worried?

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein that the liver makes when there is inflammation in the body. hs-CRP testing is used to predict the risk of developing heart disease and its complications, such as heart attacks, strokes, peripheral arterial disease, and sudden cardiac death. Lipoproteins are the particles that transport cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood stream. It suggests the risk of cardiovascular risk. I would advise you to visit a MD general medicine so that you can be evaluated and undergo the necessary investigations such as ECG, ECHO, TMT, etc to find the underlying cause of the problem and have it treated.
