Is Rheumatologist Consultation Required For High CRP?
I went into my PCP for a routine physical and the C-reactive protein blood test that they did came back @ 77. Dr. then ordered a mammogram, add'l blood tests including repeated CRP, thyroid anti-body check, ESR & CBC with diff. I was told that those tests came out fine except the CRP was still high. After some thought, I was called today and told that I'm being referred to a Rheumatologist. With the exception of a pulled shoulder muscle, I'm not having any symptoms. Any thoughts?
