Q: c reative protein elevated, what could cause this?

Usually inflammation: Usually inflammation is the cause, but not only from inflammatory arthritis. Severe diabetics can have this, as can smokers. Have your doctor sort it out. A chronically elevated CRP is a marker for accelerated vascular disease. It needs to be lowered if elevated!

Q: what causes an elevated crp? what are the associated risks?

Inflammation marker: C-reactive protein is a marker for inflammation. There are two test types, one looks for gross inflammation like pneumonia, the other, high sensitivity is a marker for risk of cardiovascular disease.

Q: what are the common causes of an elevated sgot?

Alcohol: Sgot, also called AST is traditionally associated with liver function test along with SGPT (or alt). it is raised in liver cell injury, but is not as specific to the liver as alt is. It is also present in red blood cells, cardiac and skeletal muscle. The ratio of AST to alt is sometimes useful in determining causes of liver damage. A classic example of elevated ast>alt is alcoholic liver disease.

Question 1

all normal blood work results. good readings. slightly elevated white blood count. cause for concern?

Accepted Answer

Out of context: There is no valid answer to this question without a medical history, physical exam and the reason the tests were performed.

Question 2

what can cause elevated b12 levels?

Accepted Answer

High Vitamin B12: I understand your desire to have good Health.
High levels of vitamin B12 can occur in liver disease such as Hepatitis or Cirrhosis, and some types of Leukemia. 
However, vitamin B12 test is not usually used to diagnose these problems.
In rare cases, high levels may be found in people with Diabetes or who are obese.
See a Physician for Diagnosis, have necessary tests done and follow through.

Question 3

what causes an elevated level of hdl?

Accepted Answer

Many things...: First, elevated HDL is a good thing.  This helps protect your body against the damage done by LDL (or the "bad" cholesterol).  Genetics, exercise, healthy diet all can explain an elevated hdl.

Question 4

what could cause your ldh to be elevated?

Accepted Answer

LDH: this is from the wiki on LDH:LDH is a protein that normally appears throughout the body in small amounts. Many cancers can raise LDH levels, so LDH may be used as a tumor marker, but at the same time, it is not useful in identifying a specific kind of cancer. Measuring LDH levels can be helpful in monitoring treatment for cancer. Noncancerous conditions that can raise LDH levels include heart failure, hypothyroidism, anemia, pre-eclampsia, meningitis, encephalitis, acute pancreatitis, HIV and lung or liver disease.[9]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactate_dehydrogenase

Tissue breakdown releases LDH, and therefore LDH can be measured as a surrogate for tissue breakdown, e.g. hemolysis. LDH is measured by the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) test (also known as the LDH test or Lactic acid dehydrogenase test). Comparison of the measured LDH values with the normal range help guide diagnosis.[10]

Question 5

what could cause slightly elevated mpv (11.1)?

Accepted Answer

Within normal: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, your mpv is within normal limits.

Question 6

cause of elevated wbcs without syptoms?

Accepted Answer

Elevated WBCs: Elevations of the WBC count are common. Normal is < 11, 000-13, 000, depending on the lab. Viral infections, stress, trauma, medications can all cause elevations without any specific symptoms. In the vast majority of cases of elevated WBC there is nothing seriously wrong, unless they go above 30, 000. The exception is leukemia, where the WBC count can go steadily up and cause no symptoms in the early.

Question 10

what are possible causes elevated muscle enzymes?

Accepted Answer

Many.: Simply exercising vigorously will elevate cpk. Bruising or straining muscle can elevate enzymes.  Drug reactions to statins can do this.  An certain metabolic myopathies and inflammatory myositis can causes this.  I've gone from the least important to some serious issues, which are fortunately less likely!
