A member asked:
A year ago my hs crp was over 10. i had an electrophoresis test and ana tests done and all results were normal. my hs crp is now 1.7. is it necessary/beneficial to run these 2 tests again?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
I am not sure why those 2 tests were done in the first place when C reactive protein was high. Then there is no reason to have them done this time with a much lower level.

No. CRP is a non-specific indicator of inflammation and not diagnostic of any particular disease. Wish you good health!
