C-Reactive Protein

[Guest guest]

To the lady who inquired...

This is " off the record " information, as I'm a nurse and not a doctor,

but I still need to protect my license.

An elevated CRP indicates an allergic reaction systemically. Not just

just locally (for you I would assume local would be your chest). In

other words your entire body is reacting to the foreign object and

it's trying to protect itself. There is an inflammatory process going

on your body that most likely includes all body functions. Please try

to obtain lab results with the actual values on the paper. You may

need them later on. A simple word like " elevated " on the document

with not suffice (and they do try to get away withaty kind of thing.

So please make sure the actual number value is listed along with

normal parameters. Generally each facility can make up their own

parameters! Sad but true...
