What is the CRP Test?
C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is a marker of inflammation produced by the liver. It rises in response to acute infection, injury, or chronic inflammatory conditions.
What is a CRP Report Format?
A CRP report provides the concentration of CRP in the blood, helping assess the presence and severity of inflammation or infection in the body.
Tests Included in CRP Report
Test | Description |
CRP (Quantitative) | Measures the level of C-reactive protein in mg/L to evaluate inflammation or infection. |
Key Parts of a CRP Report
Key Part | Description |
Measured Value | CRP concentration expressed in milligrams per liter (mg/L). |
Reference Range | Defines normal and abnormal levels. |
Clinical Notes | Lists the clinical suspicion—e.g., fever, arthritis, infection, or autoimmune flare. |
Interpretation | Provides medical insight based on the CRP value and associated symptoms. |
Normal Range for CRP Report
CRP Level | Interpretation |
<1 mg/L | Low risk / Normal |
1–3 mg/L | Moderate inflammation or cardiovascular risk |
>3–10 mg/L | Mild to moderate inflammation |
>10 mg/L | Significant inflammation or acute infection |
Parameters to Consider in CRP Report
Parameter | Interpretation |
Elevated CRP | Seen in bacterial infections, autoimmune diseases, and trauma. |
Extremely High CRP (>100) | Suggests severe infection or sepsis. |
Mildly Elevated | May be due to viral illness, obesity, or chronic low-grade inflammation. |
CRP Monitoring | Used to track disease activity or response to treatment. |
Guidelines for CRP Report Format
Guideline | Description |
Units Consistency | Always report in mg/L. |
Test Timing | Can be repeated to assess response to therapy. |
Clinical Correlation | Interpret with symptoms, ESR, WBC, or imaging findings. |
What Do the Results Mean?
Result Type | Interpretation |
Normal | No active inflammation detected. |
Mild Elevation | Suggests early or low-grade inflammation. |
High CRP | Indicates acute infection, active autoimmune disease, or injury. |
CRP Report Interpretation
Test | Interpretation |
CRP | Indicates the presence and intensity of inflammation; used in diagnosis and monitoring of infections, chronic diseases, or treatment response. |
