Does Elevated Wbc And Crp Of 19 Indicate Recurring H Pylori Or Ulcer?
My CRP level was 19. My white blood cells were elevated slightly. I have been having a lot of trouble with my stomach. Reflux etc. 5 years ago I was diagnosed witH h pylori and an ulcer. I was treated for it. Is this an indication that it has returned?

Hi,
Looking at your previous history and present symptoms with the laboratory results, I do not think of peptic ulcer due to H.pylori.
A mild increase in WBC count and CRP only suggests inflammation. This could be due to any inflammation anywhere in the past two days.
You can confirm H.pylori by looking at serological or urease tests.
It could be just acute gastritis.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
