Suggest Ways To Reduce Hs-CRP Levels
Question: Hs-crp value deranged around 8.86? How to reduce
Brief Answer:
No need to reduce
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
hs-CRP of 8.86 is only mildly elevated. Secondly it is a non-specific cardiovascular marker suggestive of some inflammation in blood vessels or somewhere else.
You may take precautions to reduce the inflammation like low calorie foods, more of fruits and salad, cleaner drinking water. Exercise can also be helpful.
But I would not be worried if only hs-CRP is elevated.
If there are any symptoms or any other altered parameters, please let me know.

Its my husbands report actually, he is 31 years old. Why i was concerned is because in the report it was mentioned that if hs-crp value> 3 then there are high chances of heart diseases. So the pointer was little alarming.

He may take precautions for cardiovascular disease
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
He may take precautions for cardiovascular diseases like eating healthy food, doing regular exercise, drinking cleaner water, no smoking/alcohol, etc.
Still I think its not worrisome. In people who actually have cardiovascular disease, hs-CRP can be very raised (above 15).
