Comments | |
| Results below 5 mg/L rule out numerous acute inflammatory diseases but do not exclude inflammatory processes in general.
Elevated CRP results up to 50 mg/L occur in the presence of slight to moderate inflammatory processes. CRP results above 50 mg/L indicate high and extensive inflammatory activity. | |
