C-reactive protein (CRP)

CRP (C-reactive protein) is a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation. The level in the blood rises quickly when infections, tissue damage, or other inflammatory processes occur in the body. Therefore, CRP is often used as a general marker of inflammation.

A significantly elevated CRP level usually indicates an acute infection, while slightly elevated levels can also occur in chronic diseases. Normal values generally rule out significant inflammation.
