Report

I am 27 yrs, I undergone blood test last two days back. I got report as test name -HIGH SENSITIVITY C-REACTIVE PROTEIN (hs-CRP) - TECHNOLOGY (NEPHELOMETRY) Value (8.04) units (mg/L). 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%. Please advise me do I have to undergo any treatment. Do I have cardio vascular disease.
