All clear

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. All your labs are clear including CRP ( C reactive Proteins) These are average from 0-10 and is normal in that reference range.

Nutshell all your investigations are normal and you have nothing to worry about.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

HI Dr XXXXXXX

Thanks for your prompt reply. The reference which my GP uses I think is 1mg/ml but mine came to 2.

Is my result still good and nothing to worry about? Can you let me know how to get the rating even lower and what the average level is for a healthy man under 30?

Does this result basically mean there is no infection or scar tissue in my body?

With these questions I can out everything behind me

Thanks
doctor

Brief Answer:
It's normal. lowest limit of normal

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back to me

As I mentioned earlier your CRP levels are perfectly normal and reference range is 0 to 10 is perfectly normal. You have nothing to worry about. No intervention is needed. Just use food rich in antioxidant properties like vitamin c and e supplements even if it were high sensitive CRP levels it's still normal.

Anti inflammatory approach and anti oxidants foods will help. Losing weight maintenance of lipid profile and natural and fresh fruits and vegetables etc are helpful. Avoid processed and canned products and seek a dietitian for a complete list of foods rich in antioxidants.

I hope it helps.
