What do you mean by "full blood workup"? Specifically for Crohn's, or UC? Or just general screening blood work?

How old are you? And have you ever had any screening tests before?

I don't know of any physicians (up here anyways) that would order a CRP as a measure of cardiac risk--unless you were actively having chest pain. And even then, we rarely order it anymore, since there are so many things that can give you an elevated CRP.
