Overview

CRP (C-Reactive Protein)

CRP (C-Reactive Protein)

CRP stands for C-Reactive Protein, which is a protein produced by the liver that functions as a key marker of inflammation and infection in the body.

It is one of the body's acute phase reactants—a group of substances whose concentration in the blood increases rapidly (within hours) in response to any tissue injury, infection, or severe inflammation.

Why Do You Need This Test?

The standard CRP test is a crucial, non-specific marker used in conjunction with other clinical findings to:

  • Detect Active Infection: A very high CRP level strongly suggests the presence of a significant bacterial or viral infection.
  • Monitor Inflammatory Diseases: Assessing the activity level of chronic inflammatory conditions, such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, or Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).
  • Guide Antibiotic Treatment: Tracking a patient's response to treatment; CRP levels should drop rapidly if an infection is responding to antibiotics.

Frequently asked questions on " CRP (C-Reactive Protein) "

CRP is considered a non-specific marker. It tells your doctor that you have significant inflammation somewhere, but not where the inflammation is located or what is causing it (e.g., an infection, an injury, or an autoimmune flare-up). Further testing is always required to find the underlying cause.

A high CRP level is usually caused by: Severe Bacterial Infections, Such as pneumonia, sepsis, or cellulitis. Active Autoimmune Diseases: Severe flares of rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. Major Tissue Injury: Burns, trauma, or recent surgery.

Standard CRP (or Regular CRP): Used to measure high levels (often >10 mg/L) to detect severe, acute inflammation and active infections.HS-CRP (High-Sensitivity CRP): Uses a more precise technique to measure very low levels (typically 0.3 to 10 mg/L). This test is used exclusively to assess chronic, low-grade inflammation associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk.
