What to watch with hsCRP and Allergie?

When monitoring hsCRP in the context of allergies, it's important to understand that hsCRP is a non-specific inflammatory marker. Allergies can cause mild systemic inflammation, potentially elevating hsCRP into the 1–3 mg/L range. However, values above 3 mg/L more likely indicate infection, autoimmune disease, or other inflammatory conditions. hsCRP alone is not diagnostic for allergies – specific IgE tests or eosinophil counts are more relevant. Lifestyle factors (diet, exercise, smoking) also affect hsCRP. Evidence is practice-based: hsCRP is a cardiovascular risk marker, not an allergy marker. Caveat: Do not self-diagnose; consult a physician for proper interpretation.
