A member asked:
My high sensitivity crp is 3.2 and i'm 23 years old. what does this mean?

Context...: By itself, don't read too much into an elevated crp. It can be high for many unrelated reasons (infection, inflammation - very nonspecific things). Ask your doctor what it means in terms of the whole clinical picture and i bet if you checked it again a few days or weeks from now, it'll be normal.

Elevated: A high sensitivity CRP is a test for low level inflammation, different from frank inflammation like pneumonia. Elevated hscrp is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. If you had any infection or inflammation from any reason, at the time the blood sample was taken, the test should be repeated about 6 weeks after any such inflammation has cleared. There is no immediate risk.
