A member asked:

Would iritis alone cause elevated hs crp of 2.6? or would there be other inflammation somewhere else that is causing iritis? definitive answer please.

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

See details: That CRP level is very modestly elevated. It is likely unrelated to iritis but realistically is not worth worrying about.

Thank

CRP: This is a non-specific measure of inflammation and may be a reflection of your iritis, although without being able to access your history and perform an exam this is not definitive and cannot be.
