A member asked:

Please explain what does it mean if your crp levels are up but chest xray is fine?

How do you FEEL?: Many people run a high CRP for no reason. It may be genetic, and hopefully you know that the reference ranges are set so that several % of healthy folks fall outside. No symptoms? Give thanks for good health. As a lab specialist, I don't even think folks should be screened -- but in today's medicine, physicians may need to "cover their butts" with this kind of unnecessary testing.
