What could cause elevated c reactive protein levels?

Any inflammation,be it acute or chronic  (+ info)

I just recieved a lab print out and my c-reactive protein, quant is high 15.8 what does that mean ?

---

CRP is about infection, the higher it is the more infection you have.

I'm sure whoever requested the bloods will be in contact with you  (+ info)

Is Vitamin C, E and Protein can help to recover the losses of Episiotomy? If yes, should we eat or put on scar

---

Is Vitamin C, E and Protein can help to recover the losses of Episiotomy? Somebody suggest to use Vitamin E cream on the affected area? Is it necessary, or just it is enough to eat foods which contains these vitamins and protein? Have any role of Vitamin C and E as well as Protein to repair the cells and tissues of Episiotomy Scar? How does it work?
C and E are anti-oxidants and will aid in healing your episiotomy scar. It won't make it dissappear but will help it heal FASTER and more Comfortably...you can apply E and C cream topically and take them both orally...blood supply is stimulated with both of these Nutrients.  (+ info)

Does an outbreak of the herpes simplex virus cause CRP (C reactive protein) levels to be raised?

---

CRP is an acute phase reactant and there are various levels used in different situations. It was thought that those with herpes created an inflammatory response causing slight elevations picked up by sensitive hsCRP tests thus putting them at increased risk of heart disease. The pathogenesis of heart disease implies an inciting event or infection inducing chronic inflammation. Thus a high CRP especially greater than 3 mg/L is called high within the context of coronary risk assessment.

A high hsCRP greater than 10 mg/l would put the person in terms of classic old fashion CRP testing outside the coronary risk hsCRP testing and into a search for full blown acute inflammatory states.

CRP is classically used in differentiating bacterial infections and viral infections especially in the very high CRP values of greater than 100 mg/L. In intermediate levels of 10-50 mg/L (moderate elevation) there can be overlap of bacterial and viral infections. Influenza A is another example of one that gives a moderate CRP value.

So to answer your question is yes herpes can give a moderate CRP elevation but typically about the 20 mg/L range.

One needs to be careful when attributing the elevated CRP to a viral infection especially within a clinical context of fevers persisting over a week or a person over 50 and in the presence of elevated white counts, vacuolated neutrophils, and elevated sedrate.  (+ info)

Can the C reactive protein ( CRP) levels go up with excercise ?

---

My CRP level was 27 mg/ dl . Is this very high ? I was late for the lab appointment and was running quite a lot before the test and wondering if this could have affected the result.
Recent research shows that having a high C-Reactive Protein blood test increases your risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke by twice as much as having a high cholesterol. C-Reactive Protein (CRP) measures inflammation, part of the immune reaction that protects you from infection when you injure yourself. It causes redness, pain and swelling, and can damage the inner lining of arteries, and break off clots from arteries to block the flow of blood to cause strokes and heart attacks.
C-Reactive Protein levels fluctuate from day to day, and levels increase with aging, high blood pressure, alcohol use, smoking, low levels of physical activity, chronic fatigue, coffee consumption, having elevated triglycerides, insulin resistance or diabetes, taking estrogen, eating a high protein diet, and suffering sleep disturbances, or depression. If you have none of these known causes, at this time the best ways we know to reduce C-Reactive Protein levels are exercise and a diet that includes omega-3 fatty acids . Statins appear to protect against inflammation as well as cholesterol, but they can cause nerve and muscle damage and deplete the body of co-enzyme Q10.
IF YOU HAVE A HIGH C REACTIVE PROTEIN, try to correct the known causes: infection, high blood pressure, alcohol use, smoking, low levels of physical activity, chronic fatigue, coffee consumption, having elevated triglycerides, insulin resistance or diabetes, taking estrogen, eating a high protein diet, and suffering sleep disturbances, or depression.  (+ info)

What's the difference between protein and iron?

---

What's the difference between iron and protein? I thought if I ate a lot of protein, I would also get a lot of iron although I've noticed that isn't necessarily the case. And I want to make sure I get enough iron b/c I'm borderline anaemic.
Protein is for muscles. Iron is for bones, but iron does not work alone, it needs calcium.  (+ info)
