Hi all,
I have a question for you, regarding monitoring of blood indicators, and specifically crp, during treatment.
I have been on Nilotinib since june 2019 (dx), and I am PCR-U since october 2020.
My doctor prescribes regular blood tests, including crp. My CRP was 0.4 mg% upon dx (that particular lab considered 0.8 the threshold for normal values). Since starting treatment, crp has always been slowly increasing, and now it has reached 1.9 mg%, (again with normal threashold being 0.8). As crp is an inflammation indicator, i am a bit worried for cardiovascular implications - this cannot be an infection every time I get tested. My doctor doesnt seem to worry at all.
Does anyone else have experience similar to mine?
Regards,
Koralia
