GlossaryC-reactive protein

protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a substance produced by the liver in response to inflammation. Elevated levels of CRP in the blood can indicate acute inflammation, infection, or chronic inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or cardiovascular disease. A CRP test is commonly used by healthcare professionals to assess the presence and severity of inflammation in the body.
