Is a raised plasma viscosity dangerous? (1.75 - lab. range 1.50-1.72)

Hi Foxglove

I wouldn't say its dangerous as your level is only slightly over, it just means you may have slight inflamation some where in your body. ESR and CRP also show inflamation in your body.

I have had high readings for over a year now, my ESR at highest has been 33 (range 4.00-12.00mm) and down to 29 since been on 25mg of levo and my CRP 14.0 (range <5.00mg/L) not changed. I am now on 50mg of levo and due another blood test in November so will be interested if both tests are lower.

What has your GP said about this blood result ?

G.P. said as long as P.V. below 1.8 nothing to bother about . Probably had a cold or other minor infection when blood taken No test for P' V. this year as not considered necessary.
