The C-Reactive Protein (CRP) test measures the level of CRP in the blood, a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation. CRP levels rise when there is acute inflammation, infection, or tissue injury in the body.
This test is commonly used to help evaluate inflammatory conditions, infections, autoimmune disorders, or to monitor disease activity and response to treatment. CRP is a nonspecific marker, meaning it does not identify the exact cause of inflammation but helps indicate its presence and severity. Results are interpreted alongside clinical findings and other laboratory tests.
