About test
What does C-Reactive Protein (CRP) measure?
The C-Reactive Protein (CRP) test measures the level of CRP, a protein made by the liver that can rise when there is inflammation in the body. It may be used to help assess inflammatory conditions, monitor response to treatment, or support evaluation of infections, autoimmune disorders, and some chronic diseases. CRP results are interpreted along with symptoms, medical history, and other test findings.
