should I be worried with CRP Level 84mg/l?

Yes - not good news
No - chill out

In short, it isn't great news. Why did you have it checked? Who gave you the result without explaining?

It shows you have an infection but without context I’d say you’d have to ask the doctor who ordered the test?

Speak to the person who requested the blood test.

Are you sure it's not 8.4?

Definitely 84

Patiently waiting to speak to someone

It’s meaningless on its own. On the balance of probabilities it means you probably have a viral infection, but I’ve seen people with sepsis with CRPs lower and certain viruses can give you a CRP much higher, so would never make an assumption or diagnosis without any context.

All it means is you have something going on, which is likely the reason you had the test in the first place.

This site has good info re tests and results. You obvs have inflammation/infection somewhere. Did you have any other tests? Ate you at home waiting until morning for an explanation?

It shows inflammation, not necessarily infection. Good luck!

Meaningless without context. You can't interpret a CRP on it's own without assessing you, your history and why the test was done.

When I had a bad IBS flare up after gastroenteritis my CRP was around 80. It dropped down to 10 after a month. My GP was slightly concerned I has some sort of infection but she said she’d seen people with results as high as 500 before who were seriously ill in hospital

It depends on context. A bacterial infection that’s perfectly treatable could cause that or inflammation if you have a condition such as Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Depends what your symptoms are

If entirely well - why was one done?

So I presume you are at least a bit unwell. What those symptoms are should concern you more than lab results
