What's measured?
CRP (C-Reactive Protein)
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase reactant, a protein made by the liver and released into the blood within a few hours after tissue injury, the start of an infection, or other cause of inflammation. Markedly increased levels are observed, for example, after trauma or a heart attack, with active or uncontrolled autoimmune disorders, and with serious bacterial infections like sepsis. The level of CRP can jump as much as a thousand-fold in response to inflammatory conditions, and its rise in the blood can precede pain, fever, or other clinical indicators. The test measures the amount of CRP in the blood and can be valuable in detecting inflammation due to acute conditions or in monitoring disease activity in chronic conditions.
How this test is measured
This test measures systemic inflammation by taking a blood spot test.
Understanding what elevated CRP levels mean
We can’t always see what’s happening inside of our body. While x-rays and ultrasounds do provide internal imaging, you need a legitimate reason to gain access to these services. Elevated CRP levels are not a guarantee of anything, but they do provide a glimpse into what our bodies are doing internally.
A CRP inflammation blood test can indicate the beginning of a serious problem. Elevated CRP levels have been linked to things like cardiovascular disease (high cholesterol, heart attacks, and other heart conditions), cancer, diabetes, and other conditions that include acute pain.
