What does it mean when your RP level is high in q quantitative blood test?
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.
What is c reactive protein CRP Quantitative?
C-Reactive Protein, "CRP Quantitative" is an acute phase reactant, this is used to test for infections as well as for inflammatory and neoplastic diseases. Progressive increases correlate with increases of inflammation/injury. CRP can be used to detect early postoperative wound infection and also to follow therapeutic responses to anti inflammatory agents.To find out more about What is a normal range for c reactive protein CRP Quantitative Go to the related (The distribution ofCRP values in a "NormalHealthy Population) link below
What is the abbreviation of CRP?
CRP stands for C-reactive protein.
What is the stock system name for CrP compound?
CrP is chromium phosphide.
What is the chemical formula for chromium phosphide?
Chromium(III) phosphide has the formula CrP.
What does crp 10k inside a ring mean?
I have a ring that has crp 10k printed on the inside. What does it mean?
What is a C-reactive protein quantitative?
C-Reactive Protein, QuantitativeC-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein your liver produces as part of your immune system response to injury or infection. It's also produced by muscle cells in the coronary arteries. CRP may be used to detect early postoperative wound infection and to follow therapeutic response to anti-inflammatory agents. CRP is a marker for inflammation somewhere in the body. However, CRP tests can't pinpoint where in the body inflammation may be occurring. Inflammation plays a central role in the process of atherosclerosis, in which fatty deposits clog your arteries. While measuring CRP alone won't tell your doctor your risk of heart disease, factoring in CRP test results with other blood tests results and risk factors for heart disease helps create an overall picture of your heart health. High levels of CRP in your blood may be associated with an increased risk of heart attack and sudden cardiac death. High levels of CRP appear to be less useful in predicting your risk of a stroke. The American Heart Association doesn't yet recommend CRP screening for the general public, only those at known risk of heart disease. Recent research indicates CRP testing isn't much better at predicting your heart disease risk than is assessing traditional risk factors, such as high cholesterol, obesity and smoking. Cholesterol-lowering statin medications may reduce CRP levels and decrease your cardiovascular risk.

Is 18 a normal crp?
No
CRP is a sign of the inflammation of what part of the body?
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a sign of inflammation in the walls of arteries.
What are considered good results from a CRP test?
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.
What is the difference between crp and hs-crp?
This link provides an excellent answer, here is the text except that explains that.http://www.labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/crp/faq.html#2Common Questions ---- 1. What are chronic inflammatory diseases?2. What is the difference between regular CRP and hs-CRP tests?1. What are chronic inflammatory diseases? "Chronic inflammatory diseases" is a non-specific term used to characterize long-lasting or frequently recurring bouts of inflammation as associated with a more specific disease. This can be caused by a number of different pathological conditions such as arthritis, lupus, or inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease).2. What is the difference between regular CRP and hs-CRP tests? Both tests measure the same molecule in the blood. The high sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) test measures very small amounts of CRP in the blood and is ordered most frequently for seemingly healthy people to assess their potential risk for heart problems. It measures CRP in the range from 0.5 to 10 mg/L. The regular CRP test is ordered for patients at risk for infections or chronic inflammatory diseases (see Question #1). It measures CRP in the range from 10 to 1000 mg/L.
