C-Reactive Protein (CRP Test)
What is a C-reactive (CRP) protein test?
A c-reactive protein (CRP) test checks the amount of a specific protein in your blood. This protein, CRP, is made by your liver. Normally, you have low levels of CRP, but if there’s inflammation in your body, your liver releases more CRP into your bloodstream. High levels of CRP might indicate a serious health issue causing inflammation.
