At POC Diagnostics, we help you understand your health through accurate and timely testing. When it comes to a CRP (C-reactive protein) test, good results typically indicate low levels of inflammation in the body.
A normal CRP level is usually below 3.0 mg/L:
Less than 1.0 mg/L – Low risk of inflammation or cardiovascular issues
1.0 to 3.0 mg/L – Average risk
Above 3.0 mg/L – May suggest inflammation or infection and should be evaluated further
Keep in mind that CRP levels can vary depending on the lab, your overall health, and any existing conditions. At POC Diagnostics, our healthcare professionals are available to guide you in interpreting your results and advising on any next steps.
