HS-CRP on a higher scale
I go to gym and have a good protein diet.
I have been getting ill very frequently in the last 3 months.
Got infected by viral , got tonsillitis and currently having mouth ulcers. So as a precautionary measure, i had gone for a full body checkup.
And in the results, i have got vitamin, iron and neutrophils deficiency and lymphotcyte on a higher scale.
But the major thing i noticed is high sensitivity- C reactive protein with a value of 8.7mg/L which is way beyond the normal limit of 3mg/L.
Should i be worried? Or what should i do?
