HIGH HB,HS-CRP LEVELS INDICATIVE OF PRONENESS FOR CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASESS
Detailed Answer:
Hi....
Welcome to "Ask a Doctor"service.
I am Dr Ajeet XXXXXXX
I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.
CRP or C Reactive protein is a nonspecific test which indicates infection and inflammation anywhere in the body.
But hs CRP is used as one of the markers to detect population at high risk of cardiovascular diseases.
A value of hsCRP greater than 3.0 mg/L is associated with a high risk of CVD,heart attack and stroke.
Maximum haemoglobin levels are generally considered as 15 for females and 17 gm per decilitre for males though the HB depends on age,race,gender,altitude of living,hydration and general health condition.
A high Hb level can lead to symptomatology like headache,fatigue,dizziness and breathlessness.
It can also make one prone to hyper coagulation,deep vein thrombosis,heart attack,heart failure and stroke.
In your case,as both hsCRP and Hb are deranged so i would request you to visit your clinician for further evaluation and management.
Hope that I have answered your query.
Stay healthy and stay blessed.
Regards.
