What Do These CRP And LDL Cholesterol Levels Indicate?
Question: Hi Doctor,i had recently got complete medical check up done in which some of the parameters like HS-CRP: 7.75mg/L, Iron:43.1 ug/dl, Folic Acid: 3.8 ng/ml, BUN 5.68mg/dl, LDL Cholestrol: 128mg/dl, Vitamin D:22.23 ng/ml,Vitamin B12:168pg/ml these were found out of range. On further analysis I felt that these parameters could be attributed due to obesity. My Age is 30 yrs, Height: 170 cm & Weight: 86 kgs, that puts me in an obese bracket. Am currently most concerned about the high levels of HSCRP a cardiac risk parameter.I am a non smoker, non drinker. I wanted to know if I need to go with any treatment for the same. I have also attached soft copy of my check up reports on my health profile.

Hello XXXXXXX Welcome back to HCM..
I've gone through your query and understand your concern..
Yes , I've reviewed all of your investigations in details and first let me tell you no to worry too much as anxiety and mental stress not only affects your quality of daily life but also releases certain hormones which in long term can make you prone to certain medical conditions, so don't worry-that's the first advice for you..
Your just 30 yrs old without any past cardiac history (let me know if there's any family history of cardiac ailments), and your a non-smoker,non-drinker - so all these are good positive points which will make you even closer to none of risk factors..
However, as you've rightly mentioned, your overweight with a BMI of 29.8 , so the first and foremost thing to concentrate on is to start active work-out plans (join a Gym along with comprehensive diet plans ) to help you loose weight under supervision of the specialists..
A single isolated value of HS-CRP doesn't carry much significance, also the value is not high enough to arise suspicion also, so the next step is to Repeat the HS-CRP in another 2 weeks or more duration then take the mean of both the values for further decision in this regard..
Among the other reports , your having Iron-Folic acid & B12 deficiency(Are you a Vegetarian ??), along with insufficiency of Vitamin-D (which can happen due to urban sedentary life-style)..
So you need to start taking supplementation for them , start Cap COBADEX CZS 1 cap Once Daily after breakfast for next 45 days along with Iron supplementation for next 2 months then repeat the levels..
Also start standing in the sunlight with full body exposure in the morning(in between 8-10 am) for about 15 min..
Next step is to schedule an appointment with a Cardiologist to get a thorough physical check-up along with a 12 lead ECG and probably a stress test (only if the cardiologist feels so) which will bring peace to your mind too regarding all these risk factors..also the cardiologist can provide you medications like Statin group of drugs if he/she feels like your need for them after the physical check-up along with Vitamin D3 supplementation..
I've made it simple enough for you to understand better, let me know if you've any further queries..
Take care
Kind Regards
