I just had lab workup as follow up to bypass surgery in July. Will I find CPR numbers on the report?

NOT unless it was ordered.....some docs are "with it" and a lot more are not. ASK your doctor!!! And if he says NO, you don't need it....find another doctor. BACKGROUND: I was recently diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis ....my CRP was negligible one year ago....less than pt. 1.....when it was checked in October it was 1.7.....I have SOME kind of inflammation problem going on, obviously.....since it increased by 17 times.....(It's now back down, or was recently, although I'm still fighting some kind of inflammation or something.)

Only if your doctor asked for the test on your lab order slip.
