Raised MCH & CRP

[Dottiedot]

Hi all

I have a question is raised MCH and CRP anything to be concerned about please

Just got my latest blood results and they are both a bit high

Thank you in advance for your redponses😊

The CRP marker is likely indicative of inflammation, very common in MPNs. Looking at MCH alone will not tell you very much. That can be the result of several different things. Suggest you review your entire CBC, CMP, and other labs with your hematologist. The hematologist may want to do an Iron Panel and Vit B/Folate test as well. Your doctor can best advise on what is going on.

Please do let us know what you learn and how you get on.

Hi Hunter thank you for your response and knowledge I have a telephone app with guys on the 27th il send the results over before the app

Bloods have been a bit odd some tests dropping but some going up with the crp the biggest jump and some are creeping close to either upper or lower limit

Unfortunately my local hospital heamatology dept only look at hct to see if I need a venesection they never comment on any other levels

Will let you know how I get on
