Title: What’s the Treatment for C-Reactive Protein?


1
Whats the Treatment for C-Reactive Protein?

About C-Reactive Protein
  • C reactive protein treatment It is a substance
    produced by the liver against the presence of
    inflammation in the human body. C-reactive
    protein, in the medical industry, is also called
    CRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)
    and Ultrasensitive C-reactive protein (us-CRP).
  • The protein is a marker of low-grade inflammation
    and a predictor of ones risk of cardiovascular
    diseases such as heart stroke, etc. Physicians
    claim that C-reactive protein test is highly
    non-specific as levels can be elevated due to the
    existence of any inflammatory condition in the
    body.

What does it mean to have a high CRP?
  • A high level of CRP can be caused due to a
    plethora of conditions including pregnancy,
    lupus, autoimmune arthritis, a number of
    infections, and cancer. The physician believes
    that high levels of C-reactive protein in the
    blood can be directly related to increased
    chances of a human suffering from a heart attack
    or a stroke. Furthermore, elevated levels of bad
    cholesterol are made for common risk factors.
    High levels of CRP also indicate the development
    of Type 2 diabetes in an individual.
  • A physician orders a C-reactive protein test in
    collaboration with other tests to get concrete
    results. The veterans of the medical science
    suggest that the test type can be used for
    predicting health outcomes that are linked to a
    chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

What should you do if you have high CRP?
  • Theres no guarantee that physicians can lower
    down CRP levels. Its important to note that high
    CRP is what doctors call a biomarker. A
    biomarker is used for analysing a persons
    health, but it is not a standalone indicator of a
    particular diagnosis.
  • If youre at a higher risk of developing a
    cardiovascular disease and your test results show
    high CRP levels, your physician may suggest some
    related medicines to lower the levels. Vitamin is
    one such component that smartly helps in reducing
    both the CRP levels and cardiovascular diseases.
    Many recent studies suggest that probiotics may
    also have a positive effect on lowering the CRP
    levels of the body.

CRP blood test C-reactive protein high symptoms
  • The C-reactive protein is measured in milligrams
    of CRP per liter of blood (mg/L). A low
    C-reactive protein level indicates less
    inflammation in the body. Heres what the C-
    reactive protein results indicate
  • A reading of less than 1 mg/L indicates youre at
    lower risk of having a cardiovascular disease.
  • Reading between the ranges of 1- 2.9 mg/L shows
    you are at an intermediate risk.
  • A reading higher than 3 mg/L means you are at an
    increased risk of developing a cardiovascular
    disease.
  • A reading above 10 mg/L means that you may need
    further testing processes to determine the reason
    of such significant inflammation in your body.

Symptoms
  • Osteomyelitis or a bone infection, or
  • An autoimmune arthritis flare-up
  • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
  • Tuberculosis (TB)
  • Connective tissue disease, lupus, or other
    autoimmune diseases
  • Cancer, especially lymphoma
  • Pneumonia or other significant infection

7
Tests for CRP
  • Electrocardiogram (EKG)
  • Echocardiogram
  • Stress test
  • CT scans of the coronary arteries
  • Heart catheterization

8
What are the risks with the CRP blood test?
  • There is typically negligible risk associated
    with this test. The least complications one can
    encounter are as follows
  • Light-headedness or dizziness
  • Excessive bleeding
  • Infection at the puncture site

9
C reactive protein treatment
  • The treatment of an elevated C reactive protein
    (CRP) for cardiovascular disease, may be
    meaningless. Instead, appropriate treatment
    prevention of the underlying risks and conditions
    need to be the primary focus for cardiovascular
    risk reduction.
  • Here are some of the effective and reliable ways
    to reduce cardiac factors for C reactive protein
    treatment
  • Regular exercise
  • Balanced diet
  • Cigarette smoking cessation

10
What is Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)?
  • It is a type of arthritis that can affect anyone
    at any age. But, it is most prevalent among
    middle aged women. It causes severe pain and
    swelling in the joints.
  • It is tough to confirm a Rheumatoid Arthritis
    disease as theres no single test to confirm it.
    But a comprehensive diagnosis can be performed by
    measuring C reactive protein (CRP) levels in your
    blood. Performing Rheumatoid Arthritis blood test
    is the only way to reach a diagnosis. Doctors may
    look at multiple other criteria besides blood
    test results when determining the diagnosis.
