C-Reactive Protein or CRP is a marker for inflammation. CRP is a protein produced by the liver, the circulating concentration of which rises acutely and rapidly in a cytokine-mediated response to most forms of tissue injury, infection and inflammation. CRP may activate the classical complement pathway and stimulate tissue-factor production; a key protein involved in blood coagulation. This in turn may contribute to the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease over time at CRP levels that were previously considered normal.
