TIKKI knowledge answer
The question 'How long is CRP elevated after surgery?' asks about the time course of C-reactive protein (CRP) following a surgical procedure. CRP is an acute-phase reactant that rises in response to inflammation. After surgery, CRP typically increases within 24–48 hours, peaks around day 2–3, and then gradually declines. The duration of elevation depends on the extent of surgery: minor procedures may see normalization within a few days, while major abdominal or orthopedic surgeries can keep CRP elevated for 1–2 weeks or longer. Complications such as infection or poor wound healing prolong the elevation. The provided context does not contain specific data on CRP after surgery. This answer is based on general medical knowledge, not on the given sources. Therefore, the evidence rating is 'unclear' as no direct references from the context are available. For individual assessment, consult a physician.
