was ist ein crp wert im blut — when to see a doctor?

CRP (C-reactive protein) is a non-specific inflammatory marker produced by the liver. Elevated CRP (>5 mg/L) indicates acute inflammation or infection; mildly elevated levels (1–3 mg/L) can also occur with chronic inflammation, obesity, or smoking. You should see a doctor if CRP is significantly high (e.g., >10 mg/L) or if you have symptoms like fever, pain, fatigue, or unexplained weight loss. Persistent mild elevation may warrant cardiovascular risk assessment. CRP alone is not diagnostic; it must be interpreted with clinical history. Note: Routine CRP testing in healthy asymptomatic individuals is not recommended.
