I find GPs generally don't have high health standards. I think this is because they are exposed to such a low health standard from their patients. GPs are almost always overweight themselves by middle age. Another reason to take control of your own health.Baalzamon wrote:So my doctor was happy with my CRP of 4.0.

Elevated Uric acid slightly
Are you going to get your hsCRP tested this time?
My urea was 2.4 mmol/L (3.0 - 8.0) last time it was checked. A common level for vegans.
The type of protein can effect acidity. Animal products have more sulfur and so are more acidic.

My understanding is that homocysteine is a byproduct of amino-acid processing. Less animal product consumption leads to less production of it.Baalzamon wrote:The more concerning one homocysteine levels were over 16 and is a measure of inflammation. My b12 levels perfectly fine, didn't test other B group vitamins however. Now supping the whole B group vitamins with folate to drop that homocysteine level.

Reducing your protein intake from 20% to 10% would probably make a difference to both homocysteine and urea. Changing protein type would likely also do the same.
