Brief Answer:
Its excellent lipid levels. very low cardiac risk

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Around 5 level CRP indicates mild inflammation.
2. Could be due to recent infection or inflammation like arthritis, etc. Even stress can cause mild increases. Correlation with lipid levels is good.
3. Not to worry, it will reduce depending on cause. More details necessary to identify cause.
4. Your lipid profile is excellent. The ratio is so low, that any cardiac risk is low. Continue your nutritional diet. Along with it mild exercises. Avoid smoking or alcohol.

Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
