What Does The Following High-sensitivity CRP Test Report Suggest?

Does the below parameters indicate heart disease? HIGH SENSITIVITY C-REACTIVE PROTEIN (hs-CRP) NEPHELOMETRY mg/L Reference Range :- 9.03 Risk of coronary Heart Disease. 1.00 - 3.00 -- Average Risk 3.00 -- High Risk Interpretation: High sensitivity C-reactive protein, when used in conjunction with other clinical laboratory evaluation of acute coronary syndromes, may be useful as an independent marker of prognosis for recurrent events, in patients with stable coronary disease or acute coronary syndromes. hsCRP levels should not be substituted for assessment of traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Patients with persistently unexplained, marked evaluation of hsCRP after repeated testing should be evaluated for non - cardiovascular etiologies Clinical significance: hsCRP measurements may be used as an independent risk marker for the identification of individuals at risk for future cardiovascular disease. Elevated CRP values may be indicative of prognosis of individuals with acute coronary syndromes, and may be useful in the management of such individuals. Specifications: Precision: Within run %CV has been recorded 3.1% and between run %CV of 2.5%. References: 1. Chenillot O, Henny J, Steinmez J, et al. High sensitivity C-reactive protein: biological variations and reference limits. Clin Chem Lab Med 2000;38:1003-11. 2. Hind CRH, Pepys MB. The role of serum C-reactive protein measurements in clinical practice. Int Med 1984;5:112-51. Please correlate with clinical conditions. Method:- FULLY AUTOMATED NEPHELOMETRY-BN-II ------ HOMOCYSTEINE C.L.I.A μmol/L Reference Range :- 65 Adult : Clinical Significance: Homocysteine is linked to increased risk of premature coronary artery disease, stroke and thromboembolism. Moreover, alzheimer’s disease, osteoporosis, venous thrombosis, schizophrenia, cognitive deficiency and pregnancy complications also elevates Homocysteine levels. High Values: Elevated homocysteine levels might be due to increasing age, genetic traits, drugs, renal dysfunction and dietary deficiency of vitamins or smoking. To lower your homocysteine, eat more green vegetables, stop smoking, alcohol. Folic acid helps lowering elevated levels. Caution While Interpretation: To get most accurate results, it is mandatory to separate serum immediately. In separated serum, homocysteine remains stable for at least 48 hours at room temperature. Please correlate with clinical conditions. Method:- COMPETITIVE CHEMI LUMINESCENT IMMUNO ASSAY ---------- TOTAL CHOLESTEROL PHOTOMETRY 203 mg/dl 125-200 HDL CHOLESTEROL - DIRECT PHOTOMETRY 38 mg/dl 35-80 LDL CHOLESTEROL - DIRECT PHOTOMETRY 132 mg/dl 85-130 TRIGLYCERIDES PHOTOMETRY 87 mg/dl 25-200 TC/ HDL CHOLESTEROL RATIO CALCULATED 5.4 Ratio 3 - 5 LDL / HDL RATIO CALCULATED 3.5 Ratio 1.5-3.5 VLDL CHOLESTEROL CALCULATED 17.4 mg/dl 5 - 40 NON-HDL CHOLESTEROL CALCULATED 165.2 mg/dl 160

Hi,

High hs-CRP levels only indicate the possibility of future risk of heart disease. Doesn't mean you are having heart disease now.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
