C-Reactive Protien is the indicator for infection within the body. The best possible CRP count is 0 (indicating no infection) however, blood tests normally come back with a 'less than one' reading in these cases, and that is great too. The lower the reading the better really.... but obviously a high CRP count probably means you need antibiotics
CRP levels should be up to 4.9 mg/L; see related link.
No
Yes it is.
An elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) level is a marker of inflammation in the body. It can be a normal response to infections, injuries, or chronic inflammatory conditions. However, persistently elevated CRP levels may indicate an underlying health issue that needs further evaluation.
This is difficult to answer without knowing other details and blood results. CRP is an infection marker. It is raised if you have an infection. 68 is only a mildly elevated CRP and it has further decreased to 38 which indicates that the infection is healing. If there are no other clinical signs of infection, I would not worry.
Normal CRP values vary from lab to lab. Generally, there is no CRP detectable in the blood.Your doctor may also use a highly sensitive test called hs-CRP to help determine your risk of Heart disease. According to the American Heart Association:You are at low risk of developing cardiovascular disease if your hs-CRP level is lower than 1.0mg/LYou are at average risk of developing cardiovascular disease if your levels are between 1.0 and 3.0 mg/LYou are at high risk for cardiovascular disease if your hs-CRP level is higher than 3.0 mg/LNote: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
its slightly more then normal count and normal count is 6000 - 7000, but not to worry
WBC; White Bloodcell Count. ESR; Erytrocyt Sedimentation Rate CRP; C-Reactive Protein
The normal range is 0.0 - 1.0 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL).
The normal count for a white count is not 150000 - 400000, this is for a normal platelet count. A normal white count is around 4000 - 9000 depending on the range for each lab.
CRP stands for C-reactive protein.
Normal lab values for C-Reactive Protein (CRP) in newborns are typically less than 10 mg/L. Elevated levels of CRP in newborns could indicate inflammation or infection, and further investigation may be required to determine the cause.
