A member asked:
I have a hs-crp of 4.8 does this mean cancer? or could it be from obesity? worried

No/no: I do not know the normals in your lab but a highly sensitive c reactive protein is a non specific indicator of inflammation or infection in your body. Anything that involves inflammation such as arthritis and allergies among more serious conditions can cause an elevation.
