Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

There is mild anaemia – probably from Iron deficiency / Further work up is necessary...
A high CRP – like sedimentation rate – is a non-specific indicator of severity.
It does not indicate a particular cause but prods to further investigate -

Discuss with your doctor

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
