C-Reactive Protein

C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is a marker of inflammation in the body. It is produced by the liver in response to infection, injury, or chronic inflammatory conditions. Measuring CRP helps detect and monitor inflammation that may not be otherwise apparent.

Testing CRP helps assess:

• Acute or chronic inflammation
• Infection
• Autoimmune conditions
• Inflammatory disorders
• Response to treatment

Reference Range (Adult)

Typically: <10 mg/L

(Ranges may vary slightly by laboratory and clinical context.)

What Your Results May Mean

• Elevated: May indicate active inflammation, infection, or inflammatory disease.
• Within normal range: Suggests no significant systemic inflammation at the time of testing.
