Have you

Just wondered if anyone has had a blood test which

Shows high levels of crp which is protein made in the

Liver

People with rheumatoid would have high levels so would

Lupusl I just wondered if we were given a blood test it would

Show a high, I don't expect so, no test seems to work does it.

Hi vivien60

I sincerely hope that you are feeling well today? I had a blood test for this about 6 months ago but luckily it was clear. I have both Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis. I have since been for a DEXA scan and have been diagnosed with Osteoporosis.

I am now taking 70mg of Alendronic Acid every week and Accrette D3 tablets twice daily. I have not yet been told how long I will have to take this for? My next appointment is Monday!

All my hopes and dreams for you

Sorry for being a bit thick but what's crp.

[teddybear7 in reply to teddybear7]

I mean what's it stand for?

[Hidden]

It's a protein that is produced in the liver,

If the number is high it can show an infection

Some times it is used for rheumatoid I believe

It is used for other things as well.

It's also used in urine infections

I just wondered if it could be used to tell if people

Have arthritis, maybe it could be used for fibro but

I suppose it's a different thing .

It is complicated I know I don't I understand a lot of it

and your not thick,teddybear so maybe I should not of

asked I just hoped some one would explain it to me as

Well.

And I'm sorry I don't know what it stands for maybe I

Will google it
