question: Hi! I had a full lab workup done a few weeks ago because I have been having some issues with my hands and I thought it might be RA. Everything came back normal except my CRP was 10.5 (10 is the highest for normal range at my lab) and SGOT was 54 u/l ( 36 is the high norm for female). I have not been recently injured and I was not visibly swollen anywhere the day of the test. I have two questions. 1) what could be causing those two things to be higher than normal, and 2) can taking levothyroxine (120 mcg/ day) have an effect on them?
