A member asked:

Age 77 m c reactive protein 47.80 mg/l .. is this bad? reference ramr <6.0 please explain! what need to be done? thank you?

All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, elevated CRP is an indication of inflammation but is not diagnostic of any disease, per se. Wish you good health!
