What This Value Measures
CRP is a protein that the liver produces increasingly during inflammation. It is a sensitive and rapidly responding inflammation marker.
Elevated Value
An elevated level may indicate inflammation or infection in the body; very high levels often indicate bacterial infections.
Low Value
Low or normal values argue against pronounced acute inflammation.
Reference ranges are typical guide values for adults and vary depending on the laboratory, measurement method, age and sex — always compare with the range stated on your own report. A value outside the range does not automatically mean an illness, and a value within the range does not rule one out. The trend and overall picture are usually more informative than a single value. The doctor's assessment is always decisive.
