What does it mean when high-sensitivity CRP (HCRP) is elevated?

Elevated high-sensitivity CRP (HCRP) may be associated with conditions such as respiratory tract infections, rheumatoid arthritis, and acute myocardial infarction. Medication treatment under a doctor's guidance is recommended.

1. Respiratory Tract Infection

Elevated high-sensitivity CRP refers to increased levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. When the respiratory system is affected by inflammatory infection, the body's immune response can lead to elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. This may also be accompanied by symptoms such as cough, sputum production, and fever. Under medical supervision, medications such as cefuroxime axetil tablets or acyclovir tablets may be used for treatment.

2. Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis may be related to long-term exposure to damp environments. In severe cases, it can involve multiple systems and cause inflammation, leading to elevated levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. Treatment under a doctor’s guidance may include medications such as glucosamine hydrochloride granules or methotrexate tablets.

3. Acute Myocardial Infarction

Acute myocardial infarction results from prolonged ischemia and hypoxia causing myocardial necrosis. Symptoms may include chest pain, arrhythmias, and fever. Elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels can also occur. Patients should follow medical advice for oral medication, such as aspirin enteric-coated capsules or atorvastatin tablets.

In addition, elevated HCRP may also be linked to conditions like pulmonary infection or pulmonary embolism. It is recommended to visit a hospital for examination and receive appropriate treatment based on the underlying cause.
