Should I be concerned?

These are latest blood tests results. These particular ones have consistently over the last few years been high and one low.

I’d be interested in your thoughts. TIA

Hi Mollysuki - if there were any concerns the lab would red flag your GP - there is usually a note on the top of the results to monitor, contact patient etc. No ferritin test? Was this a regular interval blood test such as every 3 months or annual or for a particular reason? That will also have a bearing.

The C-reactive is the one I take notice of as it will indicate inflammation as anyone with autoimmune disease will tell you. I tend to take action then is getting inflammatory levels down ie:- change what I eat, take lots of anti-inflammatory foods and a supplement etc.

All your readings are just over the the top of norm (not medically trained though) so I wouldn’t over think it but wouldn’t be surprised to get called back for a repeat test in a few months.

As a newbie to Osteoporosis I am interested in what others comment.
