Order CRP Test (C-Reactive Protein)C-reactive protein, or CRP, is a marker the liver releases into the bloodstream in response to inflammation. A CRP test measures how much of this protein is present, offering a broad signal that the body's immune system is active. Because CRP rises with many different conditions, it is rarely used alone; instead, it is interpreted alongside symptoms, examination findings, and other laboratory results.
About CRP Test (C-Reactive Protein) in Santa Fe
The CRP test is a general indicator of inflammation rather than a diagnosis of any single disease.
CRP is an acute-phase protein, meaning its concentration can climb quickly when the immune system responds to infection, tissue injury, or inflammatory disease. Levels typically begin to rise within hours of a trigger and fall as the response resolves, which makes the test useful for tracking whether a process is worsening or improving.
A wide range of situations can raise CRP. These include bacterial and viral infections, autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, tissue damage from injury or surgery, and chronic inflammatory states. Because the marker is non-specific, an elevated result points toward inflammation without identifying its source or cause.
Results are reported in milligrams per liter or milligrams per deciliter, and reference ranges vary by laboratory. A mildly elevated value may have little significance on its own, while markedly high values tend to prompt further evaluation. Clinicians often compare a CRP result with the erythrocyte sedimentation rate and other tests to build a fuller picture.
