Overview
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase reactant in inflammation. It is useful for the detection and evaluation of infection, sepsis, tissue injury, inflammatory disorders and associated diseases. CRP protein is synthesized in the liver and released into the blood when there is inflammation in the body. Whenever you get hurt or infected by a virus or bacteria, your immune system gets activated. The activation releases inflammatory cells and cytokines. These cells engulf the virus or bacteria and lead to pain, swelling, redness, or flare. Some inflammations, however, cannot be visualized by the naked eye, such as the joints. When your joints get hurt or inflamed, your liver releases CRP. Under normal conditions, your body has low levels of CRP in the blood. However, during inflammation, there may be moderate to severe elevation. A CRP test helps to detect this.

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein produced by the liver when there is a condition/infection that triggers inflammation. Inflammation is a natural process in the body or can also be called as a body’s way of fighting infection. During this fighting process, inflammation occurs and sometimes inflammation can cause damage to the cells and tissues in the body. Sometimes heart tissues can be damaged in the process. A high-sensitivity CRP is usually used along with other cardiac risk marker tests like the Lp-PLA2 test also called as the PLAC test. These cardiac marker tests give us insights if there is inflammation in the blood vessels that supply to the heart. The hs-CRP test accurately detects low concentrations of C-reactive protein to help assess a person’s risk for developing heart disease.
