C-Reactive Protein (CRP)

The C-reactive protein (CRP) test is a blood test that measures the level of C-reactive protein in the blood. CRP is produced in response to inflammation, making it a useful marker for identifying and monitoring infection and inflammatory conditions.

Clinical Significance

• Helps identify infections and conditions associated with inflammation.

• Can be used to monitor the progression or response to treatment of inflammatory diseases and infections.

• May help assess post-surgical infections. CRP levels normally increase within approximately 2–6 hours after surgery and typically decrease by around the third day.

• Persistently elevated CRP levels several days after surgery may indicate a possible infection or ongoing inflammation.

• Increased CRP levels can occur with infections as well as various long-term inflammatory diseases.
