Crp or hscrp? Crp is nonspecific response to illnesses, injuries, infections, etc. It can be used as a predictor of heart trouble if it is constantly raised even when there is no illness. For this, blood sample should be taken when one is in perfect condition, as any illness will make the result unreliable. Ecosprin av is not recommended for triglycerides. High triglycerides can be treated by exercise, or by traditional balanced diet. They are manufactured in liver from soluble nutrients like alcohol sugar starch. What is your present diet.

Crp is an inflammatory marker, it will be eleveated even in minor infections, however recently its raised levels have been correlated with increased cardiovascular risk. Ecosprin is a blood thinner and atorvastatin is for reducing raised lipids. Kindly mention the dose of atorvastatin you are on 10 or 20. Also repeat a fasting lipid profile to check your ldl to decide your correct dose.
