CRP is a protein that is synthesized by the liver in response to inflammation. During inflammation, CRP is released and binds to cells, which allow your white blood cells to eat and ultimately get rid of those cells from your body

CRP blood test measures the level of this specific protein in your blood. So, more of this protein floating around in your blood = more inflammation

CRP is used in the diagnosis and management of a wide variety of different diseases including chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, infections such as pneumonia, and even in heart disease.

CRP can be elevated under normal circumstances as well such as pregnancy and individuals taking OCPs

Normal value 0.8 - 3.0.
