A member asked:

I feel okay but my crp levels were high and apparently that means inflammation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Forget about it: 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. 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. Get on with your life.
