CRP and polycystic ovary syndrome: CRP levels can be slightly elevated (median 0.7 mg/L, p = 0.026) in girls with self-reported oligomenorrhea and/or hirsutism, which are symptoms of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), some women can have even serum CRP titers >5 mg/L and be at a risk for CVDs, but other data indicate that PCOS by itself does not seem to be linked to increased hsCRP levels [399,400,401].
