C-reactive protein (CRP) is a substance produced by the liver that increases in the presence of inflammation in the body. An elevated C-reactive protein level is identified with blood tests and is considered a non-specific marker for disease.RP levels can be measured via a blood test. In evaluating cardiac risk, physicians look at a very narrow range of CRP levels, from zero to 3.0 and above. This requires a special test called high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), which may be able to reveal inflammation at the micro-vascular level.
