[optimal] Do FFAs affect blood results ??

We performed OCT and FFA on a lady this afternoon, and afterwards she was sent for blood tests as part of trying to work out her eye health issues..


Her CRP was 66mg/L, Hb = 95, WCC = 17.7, PH = 610. At the time of leaving work this afternoon the ESR results weren't back.

My personal feeling is that she is experiencing some form of infection /inflammatory process rather than having these results due to NaFl. I also can't see why the CRP is so high just from NaFl, but, I may be wrong.

We are wondering whether anyone else has had similar results post FFA, or may like to comment on this post ?
