Abstract

C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is an Acute phase protein (APP) that can be detected in blood. CRP is made by the liver to respond to infl ammation in the body. When infl ammation in the body occurs, several types of cytokines and substances act to stimulate many parts of the body to respond to infl ammation. CRP levels in the blood can be used to indicate the severity of the infl ammation that occurs in the body. It is also used to predict the incidence of certain diseases, especially cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus. CRP is commonly used to detect and observe the trend of concentration in the blood and evaluate the physical condition and progression of the disease.
