In May my husband became v I ll and had a CT scan and blood tests done. Scan was normal. His haemaglobin levels were 111 and CRPs were 149. His haemaglobin dropped to 86 and then he had a colonoscopy where the doctors removed two large polyps which were benign. He took iron supplements and his haemaglobin eventually rose to 126 and then he stopped taking iron. He had blood tests this week and his haemaglobin is now 124 and CRPs are 15. Was his mistake stopping taking iron too quickly? And should his CRP be normal again yet? He also has a rash that developed in May which is much better but still flares up from time to time.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your husband had polyp. It was causing blood loss, and it is common cause of iron deficiency anemia.  Now polyp is removed so no need of iron therapy.  CRP is decreased.  It is a good thing.  CRP is acute phase reactant.  It is increased in acute inflammation.  Now CRP is decreased, and it is very good sign.  No need to worry. Just be relaxed. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
