| FYI:
|
| C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein made in the liver. Increased
levels
in
| the blood are a non-specific signal of inflammation in the body. A CRP
test
| measures the amount of C-reactive protein in the blood, but can indicate
| only the potential presence of inflammation. Additional tests may be
| required to determine the location or cause of the inflammation, if
| appropriate.
|
| Homocysteine is an amino acid produced by the human body and found in
the
| blood. High levels of homocysteine may damage blood vessels, cause blood
| vessel blockages to occur, and cause blood to clot more easily. This can
| lead to vascular problems including heart disease and stroke. You can
reduce
| the homocysteine levels in your body by eating foods containing folate,
also
| called folic acid. These include fruits and leafy green vegetables. If
your
| level of homocysteine is high enough your doctor may recommend folic
acid
| and B vitamin supplements.
