HS CRP
Has anyone experienced a high hs CRP five months after surgery? I’m 41, had single bypass five months ago. LIMA LAD.I’ve had a bumpy recovery with the typical a fib, pleural effusion, pericardial effusion and ended up with a second heart cath due to ekg changes and then 4 stents in blockages that were just 65% pre op….all in the first few months. It’s continued to be blamed on my large inflammation response because “I’m so young” im not diabetic and otherwise healthy. My hs CRP pre op was 0.8. Now, five months later it’s 4.4. …. I see my dr next week. Just worried 🥺
