A c-reactive protein test measures the level of c-reactive protein (CRP) in a sample of your blood. CRP is a protein that your liver makes. Normally, you have low levels of c-reactive protein in your blood. Your liver releases more CRP into your bloodstream if you have inflammation in your body. High levels of CRP may mean you have a serious health condition that causes inflammation. Inflammation is your body's way of protecting your tissues and helping them heal from an injury, infection, or other disease. Inflammation can be acute (sudden) and temporary. A CRP test may be used to help find or monitor inflammation in acute or chronic conditions, including: Infections from bacteria or viruses Inflammatory bowel disease, disorders of the intestines that include Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis Autoimmune disorders, such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and vasculitis Lung diseases, such as asthma

CRP is an inflammatory marker and it usually means that there is some form of inflammation( body's heightened protective phenomena) against some harmful substance in the body. A raised CRP (generally >10) is indicative of this inflammatory response due to infections, autoimmune conditions etc. A very high CRP (>100) is sometimes indicative of typical infections like TB and some other autoimflammatory conditions. Any CRP <1 is negative and helps the doctor to think of causes other than infection that could have caused a fever. CRP 1-10 is usually equivocal and has more significance in chronic disease like a heart disease and not in fever or suspected infections. Hopefully that is satisfactory.
