About this test
CRP is made by the liver in response to inflammation and rises within hours, which makes it more useful than ESR for judging whether an acute infection is improving. It is often used to help distinguish bacterial from viral illness and to follow response to treatment.
What it measures

A note on results. A single test is one part of a clinical picture, not a diagnosis. Discuss your report with a qualified doctor, who will read it alongside your history and examination.
