Victoria Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Hi again. This is interesting because my CRP can be pretty high at times; but again, no clear cut explanation for it. It seems there is a connection with Diabetes and inflammation. This will be an interesting thread to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockiesGirl Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Just reviewing my blood history when I saw this post. My C Reactive Protein is Low at <0.05. Not sure why if yours is high and mine is low....we are both Dysautonomic? Yes this will be an interesting thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockiesGirl Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Did you also receive your IGG, IGM & IGA results? if so, where are you both at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmruls Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 You need a full rheumatologic workup. Maybe need a bone scan. Do you have pain or where do you feel inflammed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddm1960 Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Mine is ultra low <.02, this sure sounds like a POTS thing. Half of will be super high, the other half super low. Geeze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I can't remember and I just stowed my medical records away. I almost wish I hadn't.Immunoglobulin M (IgM), which is found mainly in the blood and lymph fluid, is the first to be made by the body to fight a new infection.Immunoglobulin G (IgG), the most abundant type of antibody, is found in all body fluids and protects against bacterial and viral infections.Immunoglobulin E (IgE), which is associated mainly with allergic reactions (when the immune system overreacts to environmental antigens such as pollen or pet dander). It is found in the lungs, skin, and mucous membranes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramakentesh Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Sure its an inflammatory marker. It is elevated in LOW FLOW pots where elevated angiotensin II levels result in increased oxidisive stress and chronic inflammation. Go get it checked out - id be happy with that result. A doctor recently said to me in an email that inflammation and angiotensin II seem connected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stocktrader Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I don't know as much as some other people about POTS theories, but I have been doing some research about CRP & inflammation. Here are a couple of potentially useful links that I found:http://www.beyotime.com/reference/aj516-2-aj518-2-am071-am076-ref3.pdfExcerpt: "Conclusion: The present study demonstrates that AngII has ability to induce CRP expression in HAECs [human aortic endothelial cells] through AT1-ROS-ERK1/2 and JNK-NF-kB signal pathway, which strengthens understanding of the proinflammatory and proathroscerotic actions of AngII."http://hyper.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/short/HYPERTENSIONAHA.109.140608v1Excerpt: "In conclusion, CRP is not only a biomarker but also a mediator in Ang II–mediated cardiac remodeling. Enhanced upregulation of the Ang II type I receptor and activation of the transforming growth factor-{beta}/Smad and nuclear factor-{kappa}B signaling pathways may be the mechanisms by which CRP promotes cardiac fibrosis and inflammation under high Ang II conditions."
