Hi. how long before inflammatory labs are drawn should i stop nsaids? i have psa, yet my labs are always wnl.i'm wondering if the nsaids are blocking

Nsaids: Nsaids are known to lower crp and hscrp levels. Therefore it would be a good idea to abstain from their use for several days before lab work but the longer off these anti-inflammatory medications the better. Also, don't get tested if you are in the midst of an inflammatory disorder.
