3020460
The level of C-reactive protein (CRP), which can be measured in your blood, increases when there's inflammation in your body. Your doctor might order a CRP test to check for inflammation, which can indicate infection or a chronic inflammatory disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, as well as risk of heart disease. [1]
In the OMOP vocabulary 3020460 is a Standard Concept that represents the measurement C REACTIVE PROTEIN [MASS/VOLUME] IN SERUM OR PLASMA
As a general rule, the following classifications apply to CRP:
- Levels between 3 mg/L and 10 mg/L are mildly elevated and usually result from chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or lifestyle factors including tobacco smoking and being sedentary. [2]
- Levels between 10 mg/L and 100 mg/L are moderately elevated and are usually due to more significant inflammation from an infectious or non-infectious cause.[2]
- Levels above 100 mg/L are severely elevated and almost always a sign of severe bacterial infection.[2]
The recommended low and high values for each unit associated with 3020460 are below. These are not meant to be normal values. Rather, these are meant to be biologically plausible values. For example, it would be implausible to see a patient with a weight of 0 kg though a person could be 2.5 kg.
