Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi my crp level came back high but all other blood work was normal. I have been having night sweats, back,bone and joint pain, fatigue, bloating. Not sure if related but skin has been itchy as well. Is it likely this could be cancer or auto immune or simply some type of infection.
Hello dear,welcome to Ask a doctor service. I reviewed your query and here is my advice. Pcr shows the inflammation in the body. It may be either infection or autoimmune disease. According to your symptoms I suspect lupus.
