C-Reactive Protein (CRP) A C-reactive protein (CRP) test is a blood test that measures the amount of a protein called C-reactive protein in your blood. C-reactive protein measures general levels of inflammation in your body. High levels of CRP are caused by infections and many long-term diseases. But a CRP test cannot show where the inflammation is located or what is causing it. Other tests are needed to find the cause and location of the inflammation.
C-reactive protein (CRP) The liver produces a type of acute phase protein known as C-reactive protein (CRP) and the level of C-reactive protein increases in the blood when there is inflammation in the body. When there is tissue damage the concentration of CRP in the blood can double every six hours. Doctors can perform a C-reactive protein (CRP) test to determine if a person has a problem linked to acute infection or inflammation but not what or where the problem is.
