A positive CRP indicates inflammation or infection. It is not a disease itself but a marker. Follow the doctor advice, and once the cause is treated, CRP usually returns to normal.

Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

My CRP value is 3.7 mg per L. My lab report mentions that it should be less than 5 mg per L, but online sources say it should be under 3 mg per L. Which one is correct? Does this mean I have any infection or inflammation?
