Measuring inflammation - What does CRP tell us?

All chronic disease has its roots in chronic inflammation. In the cardiovascular system, inflammation leads to atherosclerosis and atherosclerosis leads to heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure and sudden death. If we are able to identify inflammation, measure it and treat it then we may improve patient outcomes. In this video, I talk about CRP, a blood marker which may help us understand inflammation. My name is Sanjay Gupta and I am a cardiologist in York, UK. www.yorkcardiology.co.uk

Wonderfully informative! This is my favorite cardiologist on the internet! I last got CRP tested in 2020, mine was great at 0.3 units (low risk for systemic inflammation). This discussion reminded me to add the high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) to my annual tests for 2023. My Story: I am male, age 66, a retired chief scientist from one of the most stressful corporate technical-leadership jobs in the US (rocket industry), yet, I take no more pills. 5 years ago I consciously dropped statin for cholesterol and dropped metformin for "pre-diabetes" (in my case the statin lowered my cholesterol but raised my blood sugar! What I later learned about statins was eye opening) Without statin my cholesterol is still above the US guidelines, yet all my cardiovascular markers (hs-CRP, Coronary Calcium score, Apo-B, sd-LDL, Lipoprotein a, etc.) are all "normal". And, with my current lifestyle my blood sugar is also normal (HbA1C about 5) -- no "pre-diabetes". ... Unfortunately, most physicians in US today are pill-peddlers, they cling to demonstrably flawed studies that set guidelines, do not take the time to keep up with new knowledge and are beholden to the big-pharma lobbies. And most are too scared to go off-script from their outdated training lest they be sued. So, I now actively manage my health with sensible food (one meal a day) regular walks with my wife, and yoga at gym. (And still inventing aerospace components for fun in my retirement.) I have been doing annual blood tests for many years and plotting all the metrics ... Thankfully, with sensible lifestyle and taking charge of my own health all my biomarkers are good with Zero meds. It can be done.

I switched to a low carb ketovore lifestyle nearly 5 years ago. I have always had higher cholesterol with good ratios, but still high. I used to be on a statin, but when the guidelines changed it wasn't recommended at that time. Before I went low carb, I always had a high hs crp around 3 -and felt actual pain with inflammation, especially after eating grains and sugars. All these years later, my hs crp is 0.5 and CAC is zero with one measuring "scant'. My cholesterol is still high, much higher I see, than when I ate plant based, unprocessed, organic. I now eat a lot of saturated fat, olive and avocado oil (no seed oils or grains/sugar). My AIC decrease from over 6 to 5.4. My HDL average is 85; triglycerides are 90 average; LDL - over 200 (!), c peptied average with insulin fasting at 11. I'm striving to bring that number down to 6. All my other labs, including thyroid are fine. A CGM (continuous glucose monitor) shows I stay 100% in range but I still worry over morning fasting levels being in the pre diabetic range. Spikes are all less than 170 for meals though, and it returns to baseline under 140 within 2 hours. I'm intrigued by the lean mass hyperresponder studies with LDL levels in the carnivore community, I wonder if you have had the opportunity to read this new study? I'm a 57 year old woman on no medications. My goal is to stay inflammation free with lifestyle and watch the rest fall into place. I've come to believe that inflammation markers are vital to know, and if I had the means to only monitor one lab, it would be hs crp.

Gerry M cat I see your judgement of doctors and I do not see any truth in it. I hear your need for more medical understanding. Doctors would love for patients to have more medical understanding. Ease of their job and patient outcomes would improve. 2 things inhibit patient understanding. One is that doctors have limited time to spend with their patients. Two is that patients do not use resources for learning about their conditions, treatments, prescriptions. You can do something about your lack of understanding. Please do.

The recent Lancet study puts to rest totally the importance of inflammation as a independent risk factor for CVD, yet most cardiologist refuse to admit it. They're still claiming inflammation -via hsCRP testing - is "just a bio marker" vs a risk factor that should be addressed. . Multiple studies find CRP is a better predictor of CVD than LDL-c. Two, data finds high CRP/low LDL are at greater risk of CVD than high LDL/low CRP. Denial of the importance of mitigating inflammation and regular CRP testing is simple cognitive dissonance at this point and is costing lives.
