What Does CRP Level Of 15 And TSH Level Of 0.99 In Blood Indicate?

Hi there, I am a 61 year old female and I have been suffering from hyperthyroidisum for nearly two years. Carbimazole stopped 3 months ago. Recent bloods showed a raised crp at 15. My TSH was 0.99. Just wondered what this means? I am not overweight, ride and look after 2 horses and still work part time. Bit worrried.

Hello,
Thank you for asking on HCM !
The TSH level is within the normal ranges and is not the cause of high CRP.
The following blood tests in addition to a detailed physical examination would be helpful to find the cause of high CRP;

CBC (Complete Blood Count, also known as Hemogram; includes Hemoglobin, WBC and Platelet counts)
Electrolytes (Sodium and Potassium in particular)
HbA1c (Glycosylated Hemoglobin = your last 3 months' glucose average).
Liver function tests (SGOT , SGPT, Albumin, Bilirubin, Alkaline Phosphatase)
Kidney function tests (BUN, Creatinine)
Free T4 (this too checks your thyroid)
25 hydroxy Vitamin D levels (ideal range 40 to 60 ng/ml = 100 to 150 nmol/liter)
Calcium
Urine analysis.

None of these tests require any fasting and can be done at any time of the day.

Will be a pleasure to help you further.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
