Inflammation: An elevated CRP means that somewhere in your body, there is inflammation. Smoking is one big cause of an elevated CRP in someone as young as you. You could also easily carry a higher genetic risk for heart disease. Get apo e testing done. To see if the inflammation is specifically vascular, get a lp-pla2 test done. It shows if you have any unstable plaque. Quitting smoking will lower crp.
