What Does CRP Stand For?
CRP stands for C Reactive Protein
C Reactive Protein (CRP) is a substance produced by the liver in response to inflammation. Its levels in the blood increase during acute and chronic inflammatory conditions, making it a useful biomarker for diagnosing and monitoring various diseases, including infections, autoimmune disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. Elevated CRP levels indicate the presence of inflammation in the body, assisting healthcare providers in assessing disease activity and effectiveness of treatments.
