C reactive protein, or CRP, is a protein that is found in the blood. CRP is produced in the liver and is called an 'acute phase reactant' - something which increases in response to inflammation in the body. CRP levels can vary from person to person and can vary in an individual over time.

Positive CRP results may indicate cancer, infection, inflammatory bowel disease, pelvic inflammatory disease, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, tuberculosis, connective tissue disease and pneumonia.
