A member asked:

Have hcv, pcos, anxiety. c-reactive protein (non hs) is 24 mg/l for past 3 months, first time ever. rheumatoid factor 104 as usual. cause of high crp?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably from HCV: I assume HCV is hepatitis C. The rheumatoid factor (RF) is associated with rheumatoid arthritis. However it can also be positive in a variety of other conditions. HCV is one of them. The high CRP is non-specific measure of inflammation. Inflammation can come from infections, autoimmune diseases, or cancers. In you the high CRP and RF are most likely from the HCV.
