Hello
Your findings suggest mildly raised hs-CRP.It will take some time to become normal.
hs-CRP test is generally used to assess arthritis,predict the risk of developing heart disease and its complications such as heart attacks,strokes,peripheral arterial disease etc.
You are taking right medicines.It is good that lipid profile and hypertension are now controlled.You should wait for some time,it will become normal.
Get well soon.
