For any medical doctors on Yahoo.. What is the impact of C-Reactive Protein Cardiac?

Question

I was tested through a blood test. These are the results
c-reactive protein, cardiac,
rheumatoid arthritis factor,
relative risk for future cardiovascular event.

well, I am a heart patient from birth until I die. What does this mean? In layman words please?

Answer 1

You do not give the complete results, only, apparently, the test names and a risk statement. I will endeavour to explain the relative tests-
The CRP test is sometimes used in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and some forms of arthritis and autoimmune diseases to assess how active the inflammation is and to monitor the treatment. The CRP test is also used to monitor patients after surgery or other invasive procedures to detect the presence of an infection during the recovery period. CRP tests are not specific enough to diagnose a particular disease. Rather, CRP is a general marker of infection and inflammation that alerts medical professionals that further testing and treatment may be necessary. C-reactive protein (CRP) is one of the acute phase proteins that increase during systemic inflammation. It’s been suggested that testing CRP levels in the blood may be an additional way to assess cardiovascular disease risk. A more sensitive CRP test, called a highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) assay, is available to determine heart disease risk.
Rheumatoid factor is an immunoglobulin (antibody) which can bind to other antibodies. Antibodies are normal proteins found in the blood which function within the immune system. Rheumatoid factor though is not normally found in the general population (only found in about 1-2% of healthy people). The incidence of rheumatoid factor increases with age and about 20% of people over 65 years old have an elevated rheumatoid factor. A blood test is used to detect the presence of rheumatoid factor. The blood test is commonly ordered to diagnose rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid factor is present in 80% of adults who have rheumatoid arthritis but there is a much lower prevalence in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
It would appear, from your statement, that the test results have led the specialist to believe that, I quote what you write in the result , there is a “relative risk for future cardiovascular event.”
You would be advised to consult the relative specialists, or your doctor, for an explanation of these findings and the treatment and lifestyle that you would be expected to pursue in the future.
I add a link for both these tests

I say Longoria vs. Upton. even nonetheless Longoria grew to become into purely attempting to help, if i grew to become into Upton i may well be annoyed with that. I do think of that Longoria grew to become into purely attempting to help and that i do think of that he grew to become into very mature with the placement. i think of this little argument between the two might make the gang greater appropriate because of the fact i think of none of them choose for Longoria telling them to hustle because of the fact it sort of is like being shamed. Do you get what i'm asserting? i do no longer understand if i'm making any sense. I additionally consider you're assertion that dugout incidents may additionally help spark communities. BQ: The Mets have not been having an excellent 2d 0.5 yet i might say Bobby Parnell.
