CRP test
The CRP blood test can help predict your risk for heart disease or stroke. It tests the liver enzymes that respond to inflammation. So arthritis, lupus, pnumonia, and other inflammatory diseases will produce a high CRP number.
There is no blood test for RP, however there is a blood test called CRP (C-reactive protein). A high CRP in quantitative blood levels signifies an immune response.

Normal test results are CRP levels of less than one milligram (mg) per liter of blood. The ideal result is a CRP level of zero.
No advance preparation for the CRP test is needed on the part of the patient. The test is conducted on a small sample of blood that usually takes about a minute to withdraw from a patient's vein.
CRP level can be used by physicians as part of the assessment of a patient's risk for heart disease because it is a stable molecule and can be easily measured with a simple blood test.
CRP stands for C-reactive protein, and is an indicator of infection within the body. The purpose of this protein is to dilate or widen blood vessels so that more white blood cells can reach the site of infection in the body. A high CRP reading could be indicative of a heightened vulnerability to artery hardening, stroke and heart disease.
CRP HS is not a blood disorder; it's a chemical in the blood (C reactive protein).

C-Reactive Protien is the indicator for infection within the body. The best possible CRP count is 0 (indicating no infection) however, blood tests normally come back with a 'less than one' reading in these cases, and that is great too. The lower the reading the better really.... but obviously a high CRP count probably means you need antibiotics
