was bedeutet crp beim blutbild — can a microbiome test help?

CRP (C-reactive protein) is a non-specific marker of inflammation in the blood. Elevated levels can indicate infection, chronic inflammation, or tissue damage, but are not disease-specific. A microbiome test currently cannot reliably identify the cause of elevated CRP. Research suggests links between gut microbiome and systemic inflammation, but there are no standardized clinical guidelines recommending microbiome tests for CRP diagnostics. Such tests are often marketing-driven and lack actionable results for individual CRP interpretation. If CRP is elevated, a doctor should investigate the underlying cause – microbiome tests do not replace medical diagnostics.
