A member asked:
Why is my sed rate normal but my crp is high?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There's no knowing: CRP is a single protein; often we do not figure out why it is elevated, and this is never more than a single piece of information in a complex clinical context. Even as an alleged coronary risk factor, it's not something to act on by itself. The sed rate is difficult to do right, and is only ordered on the off-chance it may be useful in spotting uncommon generalized inflammatory illness. Relax.
