C-Reactive Protein Normal Ranges

CRP is an acute-phase protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation, infection, and tissue injury.

Reference RangeUnitNotes
0 – 10mg/LStandard CRP; most labs use <5–10 mg/L
0 – 3mg/LHigh-sensitivity CRP (hsCRP) for cardiovascular risk

Also reported in: mg/dL.

Critical (Panic) Values

Critical High: > 200 mg/L. Values outside these limits require immediate clinical attention.

Common Causes of High CRP

Bacterial infections (most potent stimulus — CRP often >100 mg/L)Tissue injury: surgery, trauma, burns, myocardial infarctionAutoimmune diseases: rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, vasculitis

Common Causes of Low CRP

Not clinically significant (low CRP is normal)Statin therapy (reduces CRP as a beneficial cardiovascular effect)
