💥A c-reactive protein test measures the level of c-reactive protein (CRP) in your blood.
💥CRP is a protein made by your liver.
💥It's sent into your bloodstream in response to inflammation. Inflammation is your body's way of protecting your tissues if you've been injured or have an infection.
💥It can cause pain, redness, and swelling in the injured or affected area.
Some autoimmune disorders and chronic diseases can also cause inflammation.
