What does the C-Reactive Protein test measure?

Q: Why is C-Reactive Protein measured?

Standard CRP is a sensitive, rapidly responding marker of acute and chronic inflammation, used to detect and monitor infection, inflammatory disease, and tissue injury. Its rapid kinetics make it well suited to tracking response to treatment over hours to days. It is non-specific as to cause, so it is interpreted with the clinical picture and, in chronic inflammatory disease, alongside ESR.

Q: What is the reference range for C-Reactive Protein?

The standard reference range for C-Reactive Protein is <10 mg/L generally normal; higher values indicate active inflammation or infection # REVIEWER FLAG: Standard CRP cut-off is assay-specific — reviewer to confirm Access Medical Laboratories range. Note this is standard CRP, not the high-sensitivity (hs-CRP) assay used for cardiovascular risk.. Reference ranges vary by laboratory and assay platform — interpret in context of the issuing laboratory's stated range.

C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is a clinical biomarker used in autoimmune-inflammation assessment. C-reactive protein is an acute-phase pentraxin synthesised by hepatocytes in response to interleukin-6 and other inflammatory cytokines. It is measured in 1 laboratory test on BiomarkersLabs.com.

What is C-Reactive Protein?

C-reactive protein is an acute-phase pentraxin synthesised by hepatocytes in response to interleukin-6 and other inflammatory cytokines. It rises within hours of an inflammatory or infective stimulus and falls rapidly once the stimulus resolves, with a plasma half-life of around 19 hours, so its concentration tracks current inflammatory activity closely. The standard CRP assay quantifies the higher concentrations seen in overt inflammation and infection.
