Description

The C-Reactive Protein (CRP) test measures inflammation to help diagnose infections, autoimmune conditions, or monitor chronic disease—typically costing ¥7–30 at partner hospitals in China, with ChinaMedicalHub assisting with booking and interpreter support.

Main Uses

C-Reactive Protein (CRP) testing is primarily used to detect inflammation in the body. It is often utilized to monitor the effectiveness of treatments for inflammatory conditions, to differentiate between bacterial and viral infections, and as part of a cardiac risk assessment. The test is applicable in scenarios where there's a suspicion of acute or chronic inflammatory processes, including post-surgical monitoring and evaluating the risk of heart disease.

Normal Range

The normal range for C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is typically less than 1.0 mg/L, though this can vary slightly depending on the laboratory and the specific method used for measurement.

Low Values - Possible Causes

Low CRP levels are generally not a concern as they indicate a lack of inflammation. However, in rare cases, very low or undetectable CRP could be due to genetic factors, liver failure, or certain autoimmune diseases that do not trigger an inflammatory response.

High Values - Possible Causes

High CRP levels can be caused by bacterial infections, viral infections, inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Additionally, physical trauma or recent surgery can also elevate CRP levels.
