C-reactive protein: Is an inflammitory marker, elevation in iritis can mean you have sarcoidosis. Need to correlate with chest x-ray. Treatment of iritis is the same - steroid eye drops.

HS CRP: High-sensitivity CRP is used as a test for measuring risk level for cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, and strokes. This can play a role in assessing risk of a person developing one of these. You are at average risk according to the value given, but taken alone may not have much relevance.
