High C-reactive protein in pregnant women can be a physiological phenomenon, or it can be caused by an infectious disease.
C-reactive protein is an important indicator of whether the body has an infection, but the occurrence of increased C-reactive protein during pregnancy may be a normal phenomenon, or it may be an infection.
1. Normal phenomenon. If a pregnant woman’s C-reactive protein is slightly high in her blood test and there are no uncomfortable symptoms, this may be a normal phenomenon, because after pregnancy, the woman’s body will produce a series of changes, which may cause changes in the blood indexes, and the C-reactive protein is mildly elevated.
2. Infection. If a pregnant woman’s C-reactive protein is significantly elevated in a blood test, it is necessary to observe whether the pregnant woman has some signs of infection, such as fever, coughing, coughing up sputum, or frequent urination, urinary urgency and other symptoms, which may be caused by infection, and need to be further examined, and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
