A high serum amyloid A indicates an infectious disease. Serum amyloid A is similar to C-reactive protein and is a more sensitive indicator of early inflammation. A high test result means that there is an infection, but it is not certain that it is a bacterial infection because viral infections and mycoplasma infections can also lead to elevated test results. Serum amyloid-like protein A is more sensitive than C-reactive protein and will be elevated when there is inflammation. A high test result does not require special treatment if there are no uncomfortable symptoms in the body. You should drink more water and eat a light diet. If you have symptoms of sneezing, runny nose or coughing, coughing or fever, you can do further blood tests and mycoplasma tests to determine if it is a bacterial, viral or mycoplasma infection before choosing medication.
